You've been out in the field collecting data on the predation of holly leaves. You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%

According to the video, what was the effect of artificially-modified ant density in acacias on the elephant feeding behavior? (Choose one.) a. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, so did the number of branches fed on by elephants. b. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, the number of branches fed on by elephants decreased. c. As the density of ants per A. depranolobium increased, the number of trees fed on by elephants decreased. d. Elephants fed more frequently on Acacia depranolobium trees with their ants removed than on A. depranolobium trees with ants. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=293s

‏There are two pots of honey (2 patches of habitat). In one pot there is 3 pounds of honey, and in the other there is 7 pounds of honey. A total of 20 bees arrive to eat honey. How many should reed from the pot with 7 pounds of honey if the bees select pots to feed from according to an "ideal free distribution"?
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the example of species interactions for ants, plants and aphids Question 2 options: The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are negatively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants. The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are positively affected by the aphids and aphids are not affected by the ants The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are positively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants. The burdock plant is not affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are positively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants.
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. The loss of contact with older bees will cause increased Amfor and…

Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is unexplained loss of entire bee colonies that has been occurring in increased numbers across the world. The cause of the disorder is unknown, although it has been suggested that pesticides may play a role. To study this phenomenon, 300 bee colonies at 20 different sites across the U.S. are analyzed. Colonies are classified as having no CCD symptoms (group 1) or as having CCD symptoms (group 2). Bee pollen is isolated from group 1 and group 2 colonies and analyzed for the presence of pesticides. Significantly higher average pesticide levels being found in group 2 colonies, the conclusion of the study states that increasing pesticides use may be leading to the death of bees and a loss of bee colonies in CCD. Does this study have a control group? If so, what is the control group? If not, why not?
I am doing an ecology research paper on Brown Anole Lizard Distribution, to perform my experiment I will choose 4 spots in a park such as a lake, a shaded tree, a boardwalk, and a sidewalk. then to quantify my results I will go three times a day for five weeks and count how many lizards I see in each area. I need help thinking of a good research question? it does not have to be long.
Draw a species accumulation curve for the beetles in Area C3, based on the data shown in Table 2. Ensure that you calculate a standard deviation around each average number of species per sample; plot this on this figure. Make sure you label the axes and that you provide a legend. You will need to reassemble the samples in all possible combinations in order to derive the species area curve.(porvided the table)
