Altruism is seen in ant colonies, as well as other eusocial organisms such as bees and wasps. Consider why workers exhibit altruistic behaviors (e.g., colony defense, waste management) if there is potential to cause harm to the altruistic worker. Which of the following is TRUE?

Which of the following describes a type of signal that is too costly to fake?

Cuckoo birds are remarkable examples of brood parasites. These birds place their own eggs in another species nest to be raised. This leads to the host birds using offspring care resources on baby birds that aren’t their own offspring. Scientists have begun looking at whether host birds can recognize these alien eggs. They have found that, 1) some host birds have been able to recognize these alien eggs and toss them out of the nest or 2) host birds are able to recognize the parasitic bird before it lays its eggs and fights them off. But some host birds end up keeping the parasite egg in their nest and rearing the parasite chick.   Reflect on what you have learned about parasitism, evolution, and communication. Which of the following is TRUE?

A female stinkbug deposits egg-encapsulating symbionts in a jelly, that is then consumed by her newly born nymphs. This is an example of horizontal transmission.

Fill in the blank: Cladeogram branch lengths ___________ and phylogram branch lengths___________.

Consider the following scenarios that describe communication. Reflect on what you have learned about this topic and select the statement that is FALSE.

Consider the following: Researchers create a study to determine the specific behaviors in ants that are prompted by a specific cuticular hydrocarbon chemical profiles. Researchers are studying mosquitoes to determine which insect repellent compounds (e.g., citronella and picaridin) cause a negative behavioral response. Both studies are basic science.

Basic research only involve observations in nature, whereas applied research includes experiments.
