4. Compare the overall body structure of the cave fish and the minnow below. cave fish minrow P. * a. What is the biggest, most obvious difference between the body structure of these two fish? b. Assume the two fish came from the same original ancestor. Why might the cave fish have evolved without eyesight? c.

1. There are two main groups of bats: Smaller “microbats” navigate by using sonar, and larger “megabats” rely on vision. Mammalogists once thought that both kinds of bats evolve from insectivorous mammals. But similarities between the visual systems of megabats and primates have led some researchers to think that megabats may have evolved from primates, perhaps lemurs. What results would support the hypothesis that the two groups of bats have a common origin? Separate origins?
1. Scott always drove you to Sally’s place for brunch, even though it was not far. One day you decided to go on your own, even though you had to walk because Scott was out of town. Do you think you could find your way to that house to get brunch, or will it be difficult for you to navigate? What does the animal literature suggest and what conclusion can be made?
