You examine four forested Caribbean islands. Each has four species of Anolis lizard that use four ecological niches (for a total

of 16 species). On each island, one species exclusively occupies either the ground, tree trucks, limbs and branches, or the smallest twigs and leaves. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the species on each island form their own monophyletic groups. Which is the best explanation for this pattern?

Answer:

Each island was founded by a colonizer, perhaps from a mainland, and divided up ecological niche space as they diversified into the four species present.

Explanation:

            Phylogenetic analysis is the study of determining the evolutionary relationships of species. Phylogenetic is important because it makes us understand how different species evolves.

             In the given context, four species of the lizards in the four Caribbean Island are descended from the four separate common ancestor of four different species.

             Thus it can be concluded that each of the four Caribbean Island was founded by a lizard species colonized to that area or might have come from the main land and played an important role in the ecological niche as they varied and expand into present four species.

Hence the answer is ---

Each island was founded by a colonizer, perhaps from a mainland, and divided up ecological niche space as they diversified into the four species present.

The high levels of obedience in the milgram experiments are least likely to be attributable to
Afina-wow [57]

The factor which as very unlikely to have influenced the high levels of obedience observed in the Milgram is an aspect of gender-related behavior found only in males. Factors such as the instruction of a perceived authority figure, putting the ‘teacher’ and ‘learner’ in different rooms, a steady increase of shock level were more likely to have influenced the observed level of obedience.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: (C)

Rats can learn to run complex mazes even without food rewards present.

Explanation:

Biological predisposition to learning is brought about by an internal inherited quality that increases the likelihood of having a condition or exhibiting a certain pattern of behavior.

It occurs in humans and animals and has to do with genes passed down from parents to children.

In this case, the genetical makeup of the rats can cause them to learn to behave in a certain way over time.

VladimirAG [237]

<span>It is important that the constitution makes specific effort to protect the expression of unpopular views because if some topics of forms of speech were to be forbidden, then the power to set the standard to restrict any topic of discussion that is considered improper would have to be given to a particular government agency. More so, freedom of expression is an essential component of Personal Liberty. Freedom is nothing if there are topics that are off-limits.</span>

Dmitriy789 [7]

The correct choices are:

1. Caribbean colonies were used as a base to conquer the mainland;

2. Malinche helped the Spanish ally with Aztec enemies;

4. A battle broke out between the Aztecs and the Spanish in which Moctezuma was killed;

The Spanish initially conquered islands in the Caribbean region. They used them as basis for expeditions and conquering on the mainland at first. When the Spanish arrived on the mainland, they encountered the Aztecs, and they were actually welcomed and treated very nicely. The Spanish though, wanted to get the Aztec's riches, so they started allying with the tribes that hated the Aztec rule. Together, the Spanish and the local tribes attacked the Aztecs, and managed to conquer their capital Tenochtitlan, killing their leader Moctezuma in the process.
