Question

What conclusion would you draw from the data presented? Since both the number and total area of the bright-colored spots were greater in the transplanted population than in the source population, the data suggest that more brightly colored guppies are more successful in the transplanted population. Since the source population is under heavier predation (especially of adult guppies displaying their adult coloration), these results support the hypothesis that predation is leading to selection for more drab coloration in the source population. Which of the following would help strengthen the researchers' conclusion?

Explanation / Answer

* If no other characterestics differed significantly between the source and transplanted population.

If there are other characteristics that differ significantly between the populations, which might affect fitness of the populations, the results obtained might not have been valid.
