??? The American kestrel (Falco sparverius) is the most common falcon in North America. Its diet includes lizards and mice, as shown in the figure above. Using only the information given, we would describe the interaction between lizards and mice here [ Select ] as: Regarding signs (+, - or 0), the arrow pointing from lizards to mice would be [ Select ] while the arrow pointing from mice to lizards would be [ Select ] If the population of lizards increases, this would have a [ Select ] effect on the American kestrel population and a [ Select ] V effect on the mice population.

Cooperative behaviour is widely found among animals. Provide the following: 1) an example of cooperative behaviour between genetically related individuals 2) an example of cooperative behaviour between unrelated individuals. For each of the examples, also describe the mechanism(s) involved in maintaining cooperative behaviours during their interactions.
Please explain this. Below is the payoff matrix for a two-player-two-move game. If both Players A and B cooperate, then both receive a fitness payoff of P amount. If one defects and the other cooperates, then the defector receives Q and the cooperator R. If both defected, then both receive S. Which of the following payoff values will make this game a Prisoner's Dilemma game? Question 5 options: P = 7, Q = 3, R = 2, and S = 1 1) P = 28, Q = 20, R = 32, and S = 25 2) P = 7, Q = 10, R = 2, and S = 5 3) P = 5, Q = 3, R = 7, and S = 0 4) All of the above conditions can make the payoff matrix into a game of Prisoner's Dilemma.
Most anurans breed in water and rainfall stimulates breeding in many species. Ponds may attract aggregations of anurans during breeding season and males usually are the first to arrive. In most cases, females are attracted by vocalizations by males. Sometimes, vocalization isn’t sufficient Q20: This display is called “semaphoring”. Why was this behavioral adaptation necessary for this particular frog species? (please type the answer and asnwer all the parts to this question)
Animals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)
Comparing across animals in the image, do you think there is a major difference in the animals' abilities to solve complex problems like mazes, tool use, etc.? Why or why not?
A biology student is investigating the claim that the temperature can be predicted by counting cricket chirps. He has collected data and comes up with the linear model T=39.2+0.233r, where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and r is the number of chirps per minute. Interpret the slope of the equation. The model predicts a decrease of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts a decrease of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts an increase of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts an increase of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.

LS1-2 Long-distance runners (26.2 miles) describe Runner's High as a feeling of euphoria. It is often described as a feeling of being invincible and individuals claim a lost sense of time while running. Runner's high is believed to be caused by very small molecules called endocannabinoids released by the brain that affect the way a person feels, moves, and reacts. Based on the information above what you know of interacting systems, which of the following two are correct? O If the release of endocannabinoid molecules is increased, the runner will not experience the feeling of euphoria and will stop running. The muscular system is not affected by the release of endocannabinoids, which are released by the nervous system. O If the function of the nervous system is compromised and endocannabinoids are not released, the function of the muscular system is affected and prolonged endurance will be jeopardized. The release of endocannabinoids at the cellular level plays an indirect role in…

Northern flickers are woodpeckers of the eastern United States. Males, but not females, have black feathers that resemble a moustache extending from the bill along each side of the head. Aggression between males is common, but male and female members of breeding pairs are not aggressive toward one another. However, when scientists painted a moustache on female members of breeding pairs, their mates attacked them. This suggests that a.) the moustache is a releaser for aggression. b.) aggression is a learned behavior. c.) the moustache is a neutral stimulus. d.) aggression is a conditioned reflex. e.) the moustache is a conditioned stimulus.
