B) Defenseless spiders that look like ants 
C) Crab spiders that mimic the color of flowers on which they live 
D) Heliconius butterfly species that share warning patterns and that are both unpalatable

Question 2

Assume that the transmission of antibiotic-producing bacteria that live as mutualists with leaf cutter ants is strictly vertical (i.e.,bacteria are only transmitted from queens to their offspring).What would you expect the topology of a phylogeny for the bacteria to look like relative to the phylogeny of their ant partners?

Accepted Answer

A) The topologies should not correspond more than would be expected under a random model. 
B) The topologies should closely correspond to one another. 
C) The topologies should correspond less than would be expected under a random model. 
D) Deep nodes will correspond, but not nodes that are located toward the tips of the tree.

Question 3

You want to study an aspect of the mosaic theory of coevolution,and you are looking for a suitable study system.Which of the following is the most important condition that your study system needs to fulfill?

Accepted Answer

A) It needs to involve an insect-plant interaction. 
B) It needs to be a case of coevolution. 
C) The system must be organized as a true metapopulation. 
D) Coevolution is largely independent of differences in subpopulations.

Question 6

C) Cultural transmission can work both vertically and horizontally. 
D) None of the above
