Variation in the appearance of guppy color patterns to guppies and their predators under different visual conditions.

4 0

Color patterns can be thought of as mosaics of different-sized, form, brilliant, and colored patches. A number of natural conditions, including ambient light, watercolor, viewing distance, and the visual capabilities of guppies and three of their predators, were used to assess how noticeable guppy color patterns were.

A particular color pattern element (patch reflectance )'s spectrum, the medium's transmission spectrum, and the ambient light spectrum that strikes the patch all interact to determine the light spectrum that reaches the eye's surface (air or water).

The light at distance x from the patch that reaches the eye at any given wavelength, I, is the result: Q(& x) is the photon flux from the patch reaching the eye (patch radiance), and Q(A) is the photon flux of ambient light incident on the patch.

Predation intensity varies spatially with guppy color patterns, which are influenced by the make-up of the predator communities (Endler, 1978). As a result, calculations were made independently for the color patterns of guppies that are unique to three different predator communities.

(Think you mean intelligence)

I think, intelligence is slightly more important than money. It's so because if you have intelligence, you can very well earn a lot of money. You can make use of your brains and find out smart ways of having more income. On the other hand, money can't fetch you brains.

What is one byproduct of slash-and-burn clearing of the rain forest that is harming the atmosphere?

morpeh [17]

It has been estimated that ‘slash and burn’ agriculture is used by up to 500 million people worldwide. The term describes the practice of cutting and/or burning of natural vegetation for conversion into agricultural fields. Besides the disastrous implications for forest ecosystems, the practice can impact the atmosphere in two main ways if burning is implemented. Firstly by causing air pollution from the smoke, and secondly by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. Living trees also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, and the process of ‘slash and burn’ effectively removes their carbon capturing contributions to ameliorating climate change.

What is the name of the process where a material that is weak enough to flow will rises when it is hot and sinks when it is cool

aksik [14]

Answer:

Convection process

Explanation:

The process of convection is commonly takes place in the mantle portion of the earth and also at the atmosphere.

This process is usually defined as the process where the materials are heated at a high temperature, thereby making them less denser, and due to their low density they are gradually pushed upward into the upper zones. As the materials rises up, the density gradually increases due to the lowering of the temperature, and then the materials again sinks. This give rise to the formations of a circulating cell, which are commonly known as the convection cells.
