Chapter 55.2, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The observations that was important for the development of Tinbergen’s hypothesis that explains the way in which digger wasps locate their nests.
Introduction: Digger wasps are found in the sandy dry soil of Europe. A female digger wasp (Phyllanthus triangulum) can dig four to five nests for laying her eggs. The digging behavior is governed by the genetics of the wasp.

question: based on the graph, how could you best describe the relationship between the egg size (mass) and the number of eggs?
what would be a reason to observe the relationship between the two?
from what I have read about, there are several factors that can influence both the size and the number of eggs. also, its not just in butterflies where you can have larger eggs but less in quantity or smaller eggs and more in quantity. I'm trying to just figure out what a good reason for the observation would be based on the graph

- Homework help, please!!! From the scenario given, come up with a hypothesis and experiment to test out the hypothesis Q6. Given the phenotype leads to a negative impact on the nematode’s predatory behavior, develop a hypothesis as to why this phenotype is increasing among the population (i.e. it is being positively selected for) Q7. Briefly describe an experiment you could use to test this hypothesisarrow_forwardHelp Solve first 3 questions with provided information What is the independent variable(s)? Dependent variable? What is the control?arrow_forwardInstruction: Propose a hypothesis for the given scenario below. Please answer here directly. Also, support your answer with scientific bases. Female silkworm moths (Bombyx mori) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comb like antennae visible in the photograph shown here. Each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. Based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. What predictions does your hypothesis make?arrow_forward

- To conduct their experiment, the researchers collected L. peronii eggs from a natural stream. After the eggs had hatched, tadpoles were raised in artificially constructed 2 L containers in a laboratory. All containers were filled with 1 L of filtered tap water, and the water was changed every other day. Thirteen tadpoles were placed in each container, and the tadpoles were exposed to a 12-hour light: 12-hour dark photoperiod. All tadpoles were fed thawed spinach daily. The researchers randomly placed the tadpoles into containers exposed to one of four treatments, with nine replicates of each treatment, as follows: Low UVBR (<6.0 kJ/m2), low temperature (15OC) Low UVBR (<6.0 kJ/m2), high temperature (26OC) High UVBR (>70.0 kJ/m2), low temperature (15OC) High UVBR (>70.0 kJ/m2), high temperature (26OC) The researchers recorded the number of tadpoles still alive out of the original 13 in a container (percent survival) at different time periods. Their results at Week 4,…arrow_forwardDid Redi’s experiment (Fig. E1-1) convincingly demonstrate that flies produce maggots?
