Studies on the relationship between color and aerodynamic efficiency have found that dark coloring on the wings of most animals improve flight by increasing solar absorption and reducing drag. Andrew Davis and his colleagues recently conducted a similar study on monarch butterflies to see if the white spots framing their wings have any impact on their  migration. After studying the wings of nearly 400 monarch butterflies, they concluded that butterflies that migrated successfully had more white pigment in their wings than other butterflies. These findings suggest that -------Which choice most logically completes the text?white pigment is more effective than black pigment for aerodynamic efficiency.eliminatecolor pigment may not have as much of an impact on aerodynamic efficiency as previously assumed.eliminateduring the migration of monarch butterflies, aerodynamic efficiency might not be the most important factor for survival. eliminatedanimals with more dark pigment in their wings do not migrate.eliminated

why do butterfly wings have different colours

Selection for dark-winged moths in a population of moths with pigmentation that varies from light to dark is an example of _____ selection.Multiple choice question.artificialdirectionaldisruptivestabilizing

Butterflies and moths share many common traits. They each have four wings. Their wings are covered with scales. Both have flexible, hollow tubes for mouths. Both also use their mouths to suck nectar from flowers. Butterflies and moths have differences, though. One difference is in the flowers that they visit. Bright flowers attract butterflies. These bright flowers open their petals during the day. They tend to have a sweet smell. Moths, however, are attracted to white flowers. These flowers open at night and smell musky. The white petals are easy to see in the dark.Do It!Butterflies and moths depend upon _________.Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab button or down arrow until reaching the Submit button once the item is selectedA seedsB lakesC forestsD blossoms

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:• Each year, trillions of animals migrate by flying through the air.• Insects, such as mosquitos, butterflies, bees, locusts, and moths, are among the most common migratory animals.• It has been assumed that insects migrate in a random fashion, being heavily impacted by the changing winds.• Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior led a study in which hawkmoths were tagged and monitored as they migrated from Germany to the Alps.• The study’s surprising results demonstrated that the hawkmoths have more sophisticated flight strategies than previously thought.25Mark for ReviewABCThe student wants to emphasize the study’s significance. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?AIt has been assumed that insects migrate in a random fashion, so researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior studied the migratory habits of hawkmoths.BResearchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior tagged and monitored hawkmoths, which, like mosquitos, butterflies, bees, and locusts, are migratory animals.CTrillions of animals migrate through the air each year; recently, one such animal was tagged and monitored.DThe study's surprising results demonstrated that rather than migrating in a random fashion, as was previously assumed, hawkmoths exhibit sophisticated flight strategies

Two incipient species of birds differ in the coloration of their wings. Males of species A have red wings, while males of species B have orange wings. Females positively select those colors. If these two species came into secondary contact, which of the following scenarios would demonstrate a case of reinforcement?Group of answer choicesSpecies A has maroon wings and species B has yellow wingsA third species C is formed with pink wingsBoth species A and B have red wingsBoth species A and B have orange wings
