You decide to study two species of birds, both of which form monogamous pairs (one male and one female). In species 1, the eggs

in a pair's nest are almost always the offspring of that pair. In species 2, many of the eggs in a nest were actually fathered by males of neighboring pairs. Apparently, mating outside of monogamous pairings is widespread in species 2. What would be the logical prediction to make before comparing the testes size of males of the two species?

Answer:

B-Testes of species 2 are larger than testes of species 1.

Explanation:

Relatively bigger tests are associated with female and/or male promiscuity across a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate taxa.

Short 1979; Harcourt et al. 1981;

Two general theories to explain the interspecific difference in test size were proposed: 1) sperm competition (Parker 1970) and 2) sperm depletion (Short 1981). Data available suggest that sperm competition in the evolution of the size of avian testes may be a more important selective force than sperm depletion. As a result, species-specific test size data were used in comparative studies, particularly of birds, as a convenient and supposedly reliable index of sperm competition levels which further leads to bird promiscuity.

South facing glass with a large roof overhang, bermed earth on the north side, concrete floors and stone walls, minimal interior
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Passive solar houses.

Explanation:

Passive solar technology is the set of techniques aimed at the use of solar energy directly, without transforming it into another type of energy, for immediate use or for storage without the need for mechanical systems or external energy input, although it can be complemented by them, for example for their regulation.

Passive solar homes work best with open floor plans--reduced partitions from main rooms to minor rooms-- to facilitate the thermosiphing movement of solar heat from the south side through the rest of the house.

The interior surfaces that the sunlight falls upon are high density (thermal mass) materials, such as concrete, brick, stone, or adobe.

Rising heat wave on the south side of the building naturally heats up the roof terrace work areas and south facing sleeping rooms during winter.

Why is the equator region not the hottest despite vertical sun rays?​
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Because the equator is not pointed directly toward the sun because of the earth's inclination, which is around 23 degrees. The area that is the warmest in either summer or winter is 23 degrees north or south of the equator. The equator is at its warmest during the start of spring and in the fall. The hot spot oscillates up and down as a sinus wave with a one-year duration. Deserts may be found in the hottest parts of summer and winter, which are furthest from the equator. Less variance exists towards the equator, creating a tropical climate. Never too chilly or too hot.

<h2>Why is it that when you get closer to the equator of the earth you have deserts, but at the equator you have rainforests, isn't it hottest at the equator?</h2>

Due to shear forces created by the nearly spherical shape of the Earth, the equator's surface spins more quickly than that of more northerly or southerly latitudes. As a result, the air generally rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Consequently, moisture-laden air is brought in from over the equatorial sections of the seas and forced to travel over the equatorial land masses where it deposits its moisture, especially on higher terrain. This causes air from the equator to be driven north and south. This region of the country will receive very little rain since by the time the air reaches the tropics, it is virtually dry. The tropical waters evaporate a lot because they are so warm. The flow of the air is distorted by the configuration of land masses and other seas, and numerous eddies emerge in the north and south where other complex weather systems are dominant. In these areas, jet streams are in charge of the weather. Antarctica is extremely dry since the majority of its water is frozen, and in certain areas snow or rain are so seldom that all that is left is bare dry rock.
