From a study of soapberry bugs (Jadera haematoloma), a similar theme emerges that reflects the process of natural selection that

Charles Darwin observed in the Galapagos finches. In order for soapberry bugs to feed, their "beak" length must match the depth of seeds in the balloon vine fruit. In central Florida, the native balloon vine has become rare and the Goldenrain tree, an introduced species from Asia, has become the main food source for soapberry bugs. Carroll and Boyd (1992) compared beak lengths of soapberry bug populations that fed on the native balloon vine in southern Florida with central Florida populations that fed on the Goldenrain tree, whose seeds are much closer to the fruit surface than the seeds of the plump balloon vine fruit. The researchers compared these data with the average beak length in museum specimens collected from the two areas before the Goldenrain tree was introduced (indicated by the red arrows). What you can conclude from results of this study?

Based on the study of soapberry bugs and based on the conditions in which  studies have been done, it can be concluded that the Soapberry bugs with shorter beaks had a selective advantage in Central Florida because they were better able to feed on Goldenrain fruits.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

d. introduce native flowering plants the adult butterflies need for nectar, their main food.

Explanation:

Organisms choose the habitat based on the availability of basic requirements such as food, nutrients, space, etc. in the region. The absence of one or more of these factors makes them choose another habitat. Butterflies feed on nectar made by plants in their flowers. To make the butterflies stay in the landscape, flowering plants adapted to local conditions should be planted. The butterflies would feed on the nectar of these plants and would stay in the landscape.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways. The moon orbits the earth because of the pull of the earth. And the earth orbits the sun because of the pull of the sun. Because of the way they move relative to each other, we see phases and eclipses
