Question 1

Mantled howler monkeys have been found to obtain most of their food from relatively rare trees, even though finding these trees takes much longer than finding common trees. Nutritional analyses of both rare and common trees found that the rare trees tended to be higher in protein and water, while the common trees tended to be higher in crude fiber and plant secondary compounds. This is a clear example of

		Imprinting
		Innate behavior
		Habituation
		Optimal foraging 2. A white crown sparrow who listened to the songs of his parents will sing the typical white crown song. A white crown sparrow who listened to the songs of robins will not sing the song of the robin, but also cannot quite sing the correct white crown song. What does this tell you about singing in white crown sparrows? It is controlled by genetics only It is only a learned behavior It is due to the interaction between genetics and the environment (learning) It is critical for the survival of the individual 3. A young hawk captures a bright yellow snake, but instead of its resulting in an enjoyable meal, the snake induces heavy vomiting by the hawk. Two weeks later, the same bird catches another bright yellow snake, and again vomits. The next time the young bird is foraging and sees a bright yellow snake, it quickly flies away. This is an example of Operant conditioning Classical conditioning Innate behaviors Habituation Cognitive learning 4. Organisms are adapted to the environmental conditions to which they are exposed. The diversity of organisms that is found in any particular area is largely determined by the limiting abiotic factors of that region. Which abiotic factor is most likely responsible for the fact that reptiles, which are ectothermic, are more common and diverse in the southern US than in Canada? Temperature Rainfall pH Wind Salinity 5. There are various levels of ecology that can be used to study organisms and their interactions with the environment. What type of ecologist would be likely to compare the numbers of Northern Sawwhet Owls that migrate through the Midwest as compared to the Northeast? Organismal Ecologist Population Ecologist Community Ecologist Ecosystems Ecologist Physiological Ecologist
