Sampson is a dolphin trainer who trains his dolphins to perform tasks by blowing a high-pitched whistle immediately after the do

lphins do the task. The dolphins enjoy the sound of the whistle because it previously was paired with the fish they were given to eat. Based on this, you know that Sampson is using the whistle as a ________ reinforcer to train the dolphins.

Answer:

Based on this, you know that Sampson is using the whistle as a <u><em>secondary </em></u> reinforcer to train the dolphins.

Explanation:

Secondary Reinforcement can be described as a condition in which  a stimulus initiates a behavior after being previously associated with a primary reinforcer. A secondary reinforcement is a stimulus that satisfies basic survival instinct such as food, drinks, and clothing.

The same phenomenon was being used by Samson to train his dolphins to perform tasks. The dolphins enjoyed the sound of the whistle because previously that sound was paired to them getting their food.

B. A family of foxes arrived on the island after the rabbits were released. No
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The carrying capacity is affected by dense dependent and dense independent factors. 1) During the fourth year. 2) Negative impact. K decreased from 200 to 100 rabbits.  

<h3>What is carrying capacity?</h3>

Carrying capacity -K- is the capability of the environment to support a growing population.

It is a constant that coincides with the population size at which natality and mortality rates are equal. This is the equilibrium point.

Commonly, environments have limited resources, and as the population grows, resources are consumed faster, leading to an increase in the competition rate.

Per capita growth rate decreases as population size, N, increases.

  • If the N < K, the population can still grow.

• When N approximates to K, the population's growth speed decreases.

• When N = K, the population reaches equilibrium,

• When N > K, the population must decrease in size because there are not enough resources to maintain that size.

The carrying capacity might be affected by limiting factors, which might be

  • density dependent (for example, competition, predation, etcetera)
  • density independent. This last case refers to dense-independent factors, among which we can mention human impact or natural disasters (fires, volcanic eruption, flooding).

In the exposed example, when referring to rabbit's carrying capacity, we can assume it is limmited by intraspecific competition and by predation.

  • <u>Population size </u><u>between the 1st and 2nd years</u>

At first we can see that during the first two years, the number of rabbits increased until it was a little bit over 200 individuals.

  • <u>Population size </u><u>between the years 2, 3 and 4</u>

During the second, third, and fourth year, the number of rabbits was kept around 200 individuals, which leads us to assume that K = 200 rabbits.

  • <u>Population size </u><u>the fourth year</u>

However, in the fourth year, there was a sharp decrease in the number of rabbits. Probably this event was due to the arrival of foxes (predators) on the island.

  • <u>Population size</u><u> after the fourth year</u>

In the presence of foxes, the number of rabbits varied around 100 (K = 100).

According to this information, we can assume that only intraspecific competition (related to resources) had a significant role during the first years.

But with the foxes' arrival, the rabbits' carrying capacity decreased from 200 to 100, meaning that, during the following years, predation strongly influenced the rabbits' carrying capacity.  

<em>1) During what year did the foxes most likely arrive? </em>

During the fourth year

<em>2) How did the arrival of the fox family impact the carrying capacity of the rabbit population on this island? </em>

Foxes had a negative impact on the foxes' carrying capacity. It decreased<u> from k = 200 to k = 100 </u>since the foxes arrival to the island.

When we say an animal has an "open circulatory system," this means that: movement of the animal is solely responsible for moving
adoni [48]
An open circulatory system simply means that the blood flows out of vessels and into the spaces or sinuses. Invertebrates, insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.
