De Roode notes that animals besides humans self-medicate. From your own knowledge of animals, what are some ways that domestic p

ets like cats and dogs self-medicate? De Roode mentions a risk in using man-made medicine when treating certain pathogens. What is that risk? What are the two ways that eating certain kinds of milkweeds help monarch butterflies survive? Two experiments were mentioned in the talk: one that tested food preference in caterpillars, and another that tested for egg-laying preferences in adult butterflies. What were the results of those two experiments, and what did those results imply? How can humans (and veterinarians) benefit from examining this kind of animal behavior? What "new" avenues of thinking are opened up by the butterfly experiments?

Answer:Jaap de Roode is a biologist that featured on TEDTalks so the question links to him.

When they have an upset stomach, both dogs and cats will often eat grass to induce vomiting (self medication).

The risk in using man-made medicine when treating certain pathogens includes a tendency for the pathogens to develop into a resistant strain.

Just like humans, the monarch butterfly sometimes gets sick thanks to a nasty parasite. Monarchs survives with milkweed; their caterpillars eat milkweed plants only (Asclepias spp.), and monarch butterflies need milkweed to lay their eggs.

But biologist Jaap de Roode noticed something interesting about the butterflies he was studying - infected female butterflies would choose to lay their eggs on a specific kind of plant that helped their offspring avoid getting sick. How do they know to choose this plant? Think of it as "the other butterfly effect"- which could teach us to find new medicines for the treatment of human disease.

Explanation:

This leads scientists to think of improving Medicine so as to raise offsprings which are resistant to the parasites and diseases that killed their parents.

Which describes a result of the thirty years war
konstantin123 [22]
"Initially a war between various Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the great powers. These states employed relatively large mercenary armies, and the war became less about religion and more of a continuation of the France-Habsburg rivalry for European political pre-eminence. In the 17th century, religious beliefs and practices were a much larger influence on an average European than they are today. During that era, almost everyone was vested on one side of the dispute or another, which was also closely tied to people's ethnicities and loyalties, as religious beliefs affected ideas of the legitimacy of the political status of rulers. The war began when the newly elected Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, tried to impose religious uniformity on his domains, forcing Roman Catholicism on its peoples. The northern Protestant states, angered by the violation of their rights to choose that had been granted in the Peace of Augsburg, banded together to form the Protestant Union. Ferdinand II was a devout Roman Catholic and relatively intolerant when compared to his predecessor, Rudolf II. His policies were considered strongly pro-Catholic."

Consumers look toward aspirational and opinion leader reference groups to secure references regarding what they should consume a
Darya [45]

The given statement is True.

Consumers look towards aspirational and opinion leader reference groups to secure references regarding what they should consume and how they should behave.

Explanation:

When people want to belong to a group, or either model their behaviors even if they don't belong to that group, then such groups are called aspirational groups.

When some individual has high level of influence over the purchasing behavior of others, the person is called the opinion leader.

So aspirational reference groups and opinion leaders have no doubt a pretty much influence on the behaviors and consumption patterns of the people, because people want to directly or indirectly want to to get their selves associated with them.
