Consider a field where many plants are specifically pollinated by bees. If there was a sudden increase in the population of a bee predator, such as the dragonfly, we might observe a reduction in the bee population, which would lead to reduced pollination.

Coevolution can be seen between some plants and animals, like the yucca plant and the yucca moth. The flowers are shaped specifically so that only the tiny moth can pollinate them.

A student is analyzing data that compare the change in the total number of wading bird nests in the Everglades to the change in rainfall. Wading birds feed primarily on fish. Fewer nests were observed in dry years than wet years.

What is a reasonable inference about the relationship between wading bird reproductive success and water depth in the Everglades?

Water depth does not affect wading birds’ access to food but does affect wading birds’ reproductive success.

The Hummingbird moth is mostly active at night. They are attracted to a strong, sweet odor. Like hummingbirds, they can remain suspended in the air in front of the flower. They can unfold their tongues to reach into several types of flowers.

Given this information, in three to five sentences, answer the following questions:

What is one feature of a flower that is trying to attract the Hummingbird moth as a pollinator?
Considering the information above and what your knowledge from this lesson, would flowers be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth? Explain your answer.

One feature of a flower that is trying to attract the Hummingbird moth as a pollinator is a strong, sweet odor. The Hummingbird moth is primarily attracted to this scent, which helps guide them towards the flower. Additionally, the ability of the flower to produce nectar that is accessible to the long tongue of the Hummingbird moth is also a feature that can attract them.

Flowers would be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth. By attracting a diverse range of pollinators, a flower increases its chances of pollination and successful reproduction. If a flower solely relies on one specific pollinator and that pollinator’s population declines or becomes extinct, the flower may struggle to reproduce. Adapting to multiple pollinators gives a flower a higher likelihood of successful pollination and reproductive success in different ecological scenarios.

The Hummingbird moth is mostly active at night. They are attracted to a strong, sweet odor. Like hummingbirds, they can remain suspended in the air in front of the flower. They can unfold their tongues to reach into several types of flowers.

Given this information, in three to five sentences, answer the following questions:

Considering the information above and what your knowledge from this lesson, would flowers be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth? Explain your answer.

One feature of a flower that is trying to attract the Hummingbird moth as a pollinator is a strong, sweet odor. This scent helps guide the moth towards the flower. Considering this information and the lesson's knowledge, flowers would be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator. By attracting a variety of pollinators, flowers increase the likelihood of successful pollination and reproduction. Relying solely on one specific pollinator, like the Hummingbird moth, can pose risks if their population declines or becomes extinct. Therefore, adapting to multiple pollinators provides more opportunities for successful reproduction.

Cheetah mothers perform a number of different behaviors. They and their cubs stay in one place for only four days, moving on before they leave too strong a smell behind in one area. They also expend time and energy teaching their cubs to hunt successfully. In one or two sentences, explain how these behaviors affect cheetah reproductive success

These behaviors of cheetah mothers, such as regularly moving to avoid leaving a strong scent and spending time teaching their cubs to hunt, contribute to their reproductive success by increasing their chances of survival and successful hunting, which in turn ensures the survival and development of their offspring.
