Q1. Behavior influences how organisms experience the environment and thus patterns of natural
selection on behavioral traits. Which of the following examples is consistent with this statement?
A. Some lizards in complex tropical forests prefer to hang out on tree trunks and branches, rather
than the ground substrate, which has resulted in selection for shorter relative limb length and toe
pads that can cling to bark.
B. Ground-burrowing mammals experience greater exposure to dust and increased selection on
their respiratory system to filter these particulates.
C. Specialist parasitoids only target a handful of different host/prey types, resulting in a
predictable resource and less selection on the ability to learn new resources
D. all of the above
Q2. Albatross have very long and narrow wings, a shape that works very well for long-distance
flight with low energy inputs. Indeed, they can glide for days at a time with minimal flapping.
However, this wing shape works poorly for agile and controlled landing, and albatross often
crash land at their nest sites. This observation is most consistent with what general pattern in
morphology?
A. How the morphological trait works depends on size because physical mechanisms scale from
macro to micro to nano scales
B. Traits are often subjected to tradeoffs across functions
C. The function of morphological traits depends on properties at the chemical, micro, macro and
behavioral level
D. The function of morphological traits depends on interactions across different traits in the
organism.

The extent to which a species can adapt to an anthropogenically influenced environment is dependent on the evolutionary history of the species, the antipredatory adaptations of the population under study, the individual experiences, tolerances and learning capacities of animals, and their sensory limitations.
Plants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place.
This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.
This presentation focuses on anatomical adaptations of three major types of plants: Hydrophytes, mesophytes and xerophytes.

B) abiotic factors in the deeper habitat are within the tolerance range of the shallow water species, why isn't the shallow species found in high numbers in the deeper-water habitat? Use natural selection to argue why you usually wouldn't expect species to have exactly the same physiological tolerances or exactly the same distribution. C) which species likely has a larger geographic range? Why? D) which species is probably a better overall competitor? Why? 4) An underlying theme of physiological ecology is adaptation of organisms to their local environments. But these adaptations shouldn't be viewed as an optimal fit of species to their environment. In fact, over geological time, nearly all species have gone extinct. Discuss why this is the case. Why cant natural selection "prevent" species extinctions? 5) Use optimal foraging theory to explain the widespread love of fatty foods in humans. 6) In your own words, explain the relevance of the saying "a jack of all trades is a master of none" to the field of ecology.

4. Define species. Describe the ways in which new species may arise.
Explain how microevolution differs from macroevolution.
1) A. Anteaters have long, sticky tongues that they can extend into holes to reach insects to eat.
Individuals with a genotype for long tongues may have increased fitness due to their ability to reach insects in deeper holes. This trait could be a result of evolution by.
B. If that is the case, then anteaters with longer tongues should survive and than individuals with shorter tongues. Long tongues could then be considered a(an)

production and fertilization.
2) The population of elephant seals on the west coast of North America was reduced by hunting to only 20 or so individuals. The lucky individuals survived by chance rather than the presence of any traits to help them avoid hunters. Now, there are over 30,000 individuals in the population, but the genetic variation is much lower than you would typically expect. The loss of genetic diversity is an example of microevolution occurring by
3) Coconuts are buoyant and travel across oceans, being pushed by water currents and the wind. If they arrive on the shores of an island, they may germinate and grow into reproductive adults.
Movement of coconuts between nearby islands in an archipelago allows genes from coconut palms on one island to be mixed (via reproduction) with genes from coconut palms on other islands. The movement of genes between islands means that the islands experience that prevents the trees on individual islands from being reproductively isolated.
4) As climate change causes glaciers to melt in Greenland and other polar areas, large streams of meltwater form. Suppose these streams form barriers that prevent ants from crossing from one side to the other, isolating the ants from the populations on the other side of the streams. If this persists for many years, speciation could occur. What kind of speciation would this be? Describe how this process would operate.
5) The wildfires in California are killing millions of organisms including birds, squirrels, insects and other animals. If the frequency of traits in these populations changes as a result of the deaths from the fire, two possible mechanisms of evolution could be at work.

Review and Thought Questions for Natural History and Physiological Ecology 1) The oldest vertebrates originated in aquatic habitats, but mammals arose in more recent time in terrestrial habitats. However, some mammalian species have since evolved life history strategies for living in aquatic habitats (beavers, sea otters, mink, whales, dolphins, etc). What physiological problems do aquatic mammals face? What causes these problems? If there are so many physiological issues, what are the benefits for aquatic mammals, specifically for aquatic mammalian a) carnivores and b) herbivores? 2) A)The species composition of boreal forests and tundra are much more similar than the species composition of tropical rain forests and Mediterranean woodlands around the globe. What causes this? What are the management implications? B) Sasquatch are only found in the boreal forest of northern Canada. The exceptions are some smaller, isolated populations at high elevation in southern Colorado, over 2,000 miles away. Explain how this distribution pattern is possible. 3) One species of aquatic plant lives at the edge of wetland habitats in very shallow water that occasionally dries, while another species is found only in deep-water habitats that never dry.

ort Answer 1) Why would migration to an island by a single p.pdfbermanbeancolungak45
ort Answer: 1) Why would migration to an island by a single pair of birds be likely to lead to
adaptive radiation in their descendants?
Solution
1) The law of adaptive radiation by Osborn postulates, \"each isolated region, if large and
sufficiently varied in its topography, soil, climate and vegetation, will give rise to a diverse
fauna; the larger the region and more diverse teh conditions, the greater will be the variation of
animals found\". Thus, the pair of birds entering an island will be prone to variations in
topography and biological entities leading to adaptations in their features to lead a survival. The
factors which would influence their adaptative radiation are need for food, need for safety, need
for better breeding grounds, absence of enemies, presence of unoccupied environmental niches
and isolation.
2) The incompleteness of fossils is caused by the following factors:
Most of the animals and plants do not get suitable conditions for fossilization. They are
destroyed by destructive forces.

species has a closely related species found in Minnesota (species 2), where the breeding season is
very short. In the tropics, species 1 can potentially reproduce year-round. How might you predict
the stress responses of the species to differ in terms of cortisol expression following a brief
stressor (e.g., exposure to predator or food restriction)?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
Q2. Some studies have shown that NMDA receptor activation is higher right after a stressful
event, when cortisol levels are high. Researchers have argued this is evidence that stress
hormones may cause flashbulb memories, the potent memories surrounding a very fearful or
stressful event. What additional evidence is needed to pinpoint these hormones as a cause?
A. Measurements of incidence of flashbulb memories and cortisol levels across species
B. Data on neurogenesis in the hippocampus after the stressful event
C. Manipulation of cortisol levels and measurement of effects on flashbulb memories

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Q1. Behavior influences how organisms experience the environment and.pdf
1. Q1. Behavior influences how organisms experience the environment and thus patterns of natural
selection on behavioral traits. Which of the following examples is consistent with this statement?
A. Some lizards in complex tropical forests prefer to hang out on tree trunks and branches, rather
than the ground substrate, which has resulted in selection for shorter relative limb length and toe
pads that can cling to bark.
B. Ground-burrowing mammals experience greater exposure to dust and increased selection on
their respiratory system to filter these particulates.
C. Specialist parasitoids only target a handful of different host/prey types, resulting in a
predictable resource and less selection on the ability to learn new resources
D. all of the above
Q2. Albatross have very long and narrow wings, a shape that works very well for long-distance
flight with low energy inputs. Indeed, they can glide for days at a time with minimal flapping.
However, this wing shape works poorly for agile and controlled landing, and albatross often
crash land at their nest sites. This observation is most consistent with what general pattern in
morphology?
A. How the morphological trait works depends on size because physical mechanisms scale from
macro to micro to nano scales
B. Traits are often subjected to tradeoffs across functions
C. The function of morphological traits depends on properties at the chemical, micro, macro and
behavioral level
D. The function of morphological traits depends on interactions across different traits in the
organism
