A male meadow lark needs to sing to attract a mate. Which
would be the best option for the male to choose?
Question 1 options:
Sing during the middle of the day from the tallest grass available
Sing at dawn from the tallest grass available
Sing at dawn from its nest on the ground
Sing during the middle of the day from its nest on the ground

Over the next century, how do you think the effects of global
climate change will compare for species adapted to extreme
heat (tropical and hot desert species) versus those adapted to
extreme cold (polar species)?
Question 2 options:
Tropical/hot desert species will experience fewer effects due to global climate change than polar specie
because they are already adapted to a warm climate
Polar species will be impacted more than tropical/hot desert species because disease will become more
prevalent in cold regions
Tropical/hot desert species will be impacted more than polar species because they disperse more slowly
Both tropical/hot desert and polar species will be impacted, but polar species are more likely to go extin
because they cannot migrate any further poleward

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
, Question 3 options:
Optimal foraging
Innate behavior
Imprinting
Habituation

Male wild turkeys frequently form a coalition consisting of two
brothers and a number of females. The subordinate brother
helps to attract females to the coalition, but typically the
dominant brother is the only male within the coalition that
gets to mate. Solo males that are not in a coalition do
occasionally attract females and mate with them. Dominant
males in a coalition produce an average of 7 offspring,
subordinate males within a coalition produce an average of 0
offspring, and solo males produce an average of 1 offspring.
Can kin selection explain this behavior?
Question 4 options:
No, kin selection cannot explain this behavior because rB<C. The net benefit is -6.
No, kin selection cannot explain this behavior because rB<C. The net benefit is -1.
Yes, kin selection can explain this behavior because rB>C. The net benefit is 2.5
Yes, kin selection can explain this behavior because rB>C. The net benefit is 6.

In 1964, Rothenbuhler found that bees with the uuRr genotype
would uncap cells but not remove the larvae within them. This
discovery indicated that

These behaviors were learned through habituation
These behaviors were under genetic control
These behaviors were learned through classical conditioning
These behaviors were learned through operant conditioning
