The hypothesis seeks to explain that the new male baboon undertakes this practice in order to father its own offspring with the victim's mother.

Answer:

It has been hypothesized that infanticide exists to:

Prevent future opponents from entering the same pack for harem control and only grow the offspring of the new alpha within the herd.

Explanation:

The practice of infanticide is very common to see it in baboons and lions, where an alpha takes care of a harem, which provides a certain level of protection, but instead kills preexisting offspring and banishes young people, in order to avoid any kind of future confrontation for the control of the harem and that in addition, the females are responsible for raising only the young of the new alpha, however, it regularly happens that a new 'bachelor' with more experience in fighting or younger comes to claim the harem as his, murders the previous alpha, takes possession and repeats the aforementioned practice.

Describe how living conditions change for two tidal organisms
gayaneshka [121]
The shoreline is one of the harshest and most changeable environments for living creatures. The changing tides shift the environment dramatically within a sub-daily cycle. Here, we can consider two typical shoreline organisms, and the changing environment they must endure. Within the rocky shore environment, an octopus would be within the shallow but open sea environment during high tide, and water temperature and salinity conditions would be fairly constant. During low tide, the octopus might become trapped in a rock pool. This environment is dramatically different. The water temperature and salinity might increase drastically with exposure to solar radiation. The octopus is also more vulnerable to predation by humans and other land animals. Within the sandy shore environment, sand clams would be actively positioned at the interface of the sand and water, and will be actively filtering sea water for detritus. During low tide, the sand would be exposed to the air, and the clams would burrow down into the sand so as to avoid dessication.
