FOCUS ON INFORMATION
In Bateslan mimicry, a palatable species gains protection by mimicking an unpalatable one. Imagine that Individuals or a palatable, brightly colored fly species are blown to three remote islands. The first island has no predators of that spec1es; the second has predators but no similarly colored, unpalatable species; and the third has both predators and a similarly colored, unpalatable species. In a short essay (100-150 words), predict what might happen to the coloration of the palatable species on each island over time if coloration is a genetically controlled trail Explain your predictions.

Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing?
"Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either
simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the
most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which
presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another."
An interaction network.
A predator/prey cycle.
O Coevolution.
An obligate mutualism.

Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story.
Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.)
Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?
A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.

- Think about a predator-prey system that perfectly follows Lotka-Volterra dynamics. The search efficiency parameter (a) represents how quickly the predator finds and kills its prey. What would happen if most the predator population had a parasite that made them less effective predators? Infected animals find and kill prey less frequently (that is, the parasite caused the value of the search efficiency parameter to decline). the populations would still cycle; the amplitude of prey and predator would increase Othe populations would no longer cycle; the prey would increase and the predator would go extinct the populations would no longer cycle; the prey would go extinct and the predator would increase the populations would still cycle; the amplitude of prey and predator would decline the predator and prey populations would no longer cycle; the parasite and the predator populations would cycle insteadarrow_forwardMatch the following forms of interaction with the correct description. predation [Choose ] mutualism [Choose ] commensalism [Choose ] ✪ parasitism [Choose ]arrow_forwardGive your response to the following statement: “Eventually, all species become extinct.

- Honey bee workers from a colony in North Carolina are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 am as shown below. Site A is 1500 m from the hive; site B is 300 m from the hive. While most of the foragers are out in the field, a sudden downpour strikes which drowns many of the bees outside the hive. As a result, there is a shortage of foragers in the nest at a time when much food is available in the field. Which of the following can you correctly predict will happen: a. The loss of foragers will cause increased activity of the Gp9 gene in some of the bees inside the nest, which will decrease their JH levels, causing them to revert to nursing behavior and raise more brood to quickly replace the lost foragers. b. The loss of foragers will result in decreased transfer of ethyl oleate to the younger bees, which will cause JH titers in some of the younger bees to increase and they will become precocious foragers. c.

- Graph Analysis - Predator-Prey Graph Isle Royale National Park on a remote island was established in 1940, and designated a wilderness area in 1976. The only mode of transportation available is by boat or seaplane. Moose first arrived at Isle Royale around 1900. The moose population tends to increase in years with mild winters, early spring green-up, abundant winter forage, low wolf numbers and low levels of tick infestation. Wolves first arrived at the island on an ice bridge from Canada in 1940. Disease has also influenced the wolf population. Between 1980 and 1982, the wolf population declined from 50 to 14, due to canine parvovirus.
