how this behavior originated and how it may have changed over time,
we want to understand its: Answer: D) Evolutionary history
◉Which statement provides evidence that some insects are capable of

◉A researcher compares the species diversity of two different islands
located equal distances from the mainland. One island is much smaller
than the other. The researcher finds that the S value (number of species
at equilibrium) for smaller islands is ________ the S value for the larger
island. When she examines the extinction rates for both islands, she
finds that the extinction rate on the small island is ___________ the
extinction rate for the large island. Answer: D) Lower than; higher than
◉Apply Tinbergen's four questions ( discussed in the chapter) to pigeon
homing. Which statement best describes the evolutionary roots of pigeon

time

colder than they are now? Answer: A) Temperatures would be hotter
