Total FoodDelivered (kg)"When the cover on the ocean reaches around 70 percent ice and there's only 30 percentwater, conditions become more difficult for Adélies," says Ainley. "Above that point, penguinsbegin to have problems with access to the sea and spend too much time walking. Around 20percent ice cover is ideal for them."Figure 1- Modeling based on penguin data shows that thepercentage of sea ice has an effect on the efficiency of AdélieThis graph shows the modeled effect of sea ice concentrationon total masSs of food delivered, per parent.Maximum efficiency is reached at about 12%.change for higher ice concentrations.Dotted lines indicate range of probable valuesGraph modifed from Ballard and others (20101Ice Concentration (%)Super PenguinsAinley and his fellow researchers are trying to determine why some periguins are moresuccessful than others.

Optimal foraging theory can make predictions about an animal’s food choice. Which of the following is the most accurate statement about optimal diet breadth as resource quality, handling time and distribution changes? As handling time increases, animals should specialize As the distance between resources increases, animals should generalize As the energy content of the resources increases, animals should generalize As the distance between patches increases, animals should stay longer in a patch The following diagrams show four distribution patterns of resources. Each circle represents one unit of a resource, say, a food item. For which of these distributions would the Marginal Value Theorem be useful for making predictions about optimal foraging behavior.

Explain the effects on the ecosystem if Wood rat were removed. Provide both positive (if any) and negative impacts on the ecosystem. Be sure and include as many of the following terms in your writing as possible: autotroph, heterotroph, producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, energy, population, increase, and decrease.
Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Effect of Food Density sccenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance. Hypothesis: higher food density corresponds to an extended duration of foraging.
Great white sharks prefer marine mammals like seals but can eat a number of other prey items, including birds and fish. According to the table below, what is the critical search time for seals, above which great white sharks should choose to eat an albatross if they encounter one? Prey item: seal (energy = 60 Mcals, handling time = 5 minutes) Prey item: albatross (energy = 10 Mcals, handling time = 2 minutes)
Interpret the following graphs: In the graphs, the number of days are 18.. 1 day is equal to 60 sec. For the first graph, days are taken on x-axis. The mean foraging times are taken on y-axis. For the 2nd graph, percentage of prey caught during first half of winter(1-6days) were taken on x-axis and percentage of prey caught during 2nd half of winter(7-12days) were taken on y-axis.

Your textbook uses this graph as evidence for human hunting driving early exctinctions. Highlight this evidence by interpreting the important information on the graph. Start by accurately describing the way the graph looks, then identifying and describing important numbers and trends. When discussing numbers and trends, use the units and information found on the x and y axis. Finish with a conclusion. What does it tell us about prey switching and impacts of predation on biodiversity? Partridges and other small birds Hares and other small mammals Tortoises and shellfish
This is a system dynamics model of the Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey model. The two stocks in the model are prey and predators. The _________ __________ of the prey and predators change in response to the inflows ______and outflows_____. Each iteration the stock changes by the inflows minus the outflows, or ___________________________. The ___________ feedback is the result of the interconnections between the predator and the prey. The prey _________ the predators, and the predators ________the prey. This simple interaction allows the system to _____________. When the predators ________the prey, the small numbers of prey leads to the predators __________. With a __________ in predators the prey_____________, and the cycle continues.
