Why do bluegills nest on the edge of the lake? - CORRECT
ANSWER >>>>The habitat in the shallow water might
receive more solar radiation, holds more zooplankton
(which is what they eat), more protective over young
than it in deeper water where larger fish reside, more
algae for the fish to hide in, warmer water for embryos
to develop quickly and enhance survival/fitness.
Activity: Write a Figure Legend - CORRECT ANSWER
>>>>Bluegills prefer certain water temp; when given a
choice between 27 degrees celsius and 31 degrees
celsius, bluegills spent a majority of their time at 31
degrees celsius.
True or False? If males compete for space, a large male
will likely force a small male to spend less time on the
side of the tank with the optimal temperature. -
CORRECT ANSWER >>>>true
True or False? Both models assume that no individuals
immigrate into the population. - CORRECT ANSWER
>>>>false
