Question

Are the answers correct?

You are the manager of a city park that has bird feeding stations that are evenly spaced throughout a city park These birds draw in a lot of people who like to bird watch. However, park visitors complain that the birds don't spend very long at any one feeder, making it difficult to watch them for prolonged periods of time. Using marginal value theorem, which of the following changes would likely INCREASE the amount of time the birds spend at each feeder? Pick ALL of the answers that that apply. a Moving the feeding stations closer together b Moving the feeding stations further apart c Increasing the amount of food at each station d Decreasing the amount of food at each station Which of the following best defines sexual selection? a A process in which individuals with specific traits have higher survivorship than those that do not b More than one of these answers is correct c. A process in which individuals with specific traits have higher mating success than those that do not d A process in which individuals with specific traits have higher fecundity than those that do not True or False The benefits of group living can include improved foraging success True False

Explanation / Answer

Question 3 - The marginal value theorem suggests to have the discrete patches of food stations with no food resources in between, so b. is the right choice, but the suggestion with higher food storage in one place is not suggested from here.

Question 4. To define the sexual selection, it talks about the preference by one sex for certain characteristics to another sex individual. It is a from of natural selection.

Answer c is correct also the answer suggestion from d answer choice is also correct to a certain point, but we only see the fecundity in case of rodents and other types of flowering plants. So the option chosen is right.

Question 5. The benefits of group living can include foraging success is True. Group living provides a better survival capacity and foraging benefit by allowing for example in spiders to capture larger prey items.
