Northern flickers are woodpeckers of the eastern United States. Males, but not females, have black feathers that resemble a mous

tache extending from the bill along each side of the head. Whereas aggression between males is common, male and female members of breeding pairs are not aggressive toward one another. However, when scientists painted a moustache on female members of breeding pairs, their mates attacked them. This suggests that- aggression is a learned behavior.- the moustache is a neutral stimulus.- aggression is a conditioned reflex.- the moustache is a releaser for aggression.- the moustache is a conditioned stimulus.

Answer:

This suggests that the moustache is a releaser for aggression.

Explanation:

<em>Fixed action patterns</em> are instinctive programmed responses in different species that are triggered by a specific external sensory stimulus. These stimuli are called sign stimuli or releaser. When the sign occurs, the animal starts a sequence of acts in response to the stimulus and continuous until the series of actions is completed.

The black feathers resembling a mustache in a <em>Northern flickers</em> male are an external sensory stimulus. This trait that can provoke another male to respond aggressively, as a f<em>ixed action pattern</em>.  

This trait might be considered as an <em>unconditioned stimulus</em>, which <em>provokes an unlearned or reflex reaction</em>. These aggressive responses are triggered by reflex.

The actual niche the organism is able to occupy in the presence of competitors is called its:_____________.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

B) realized niche

Explanation:  

The ecological niche refers to all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species. The term ecological niche refers to the fundamental niche or the realized niche.    

  • The fundamental niche refers<u> only</u> to factors or physical conditions under which a species can live and survive in the <u>absence of any interaction with other species. </u>
  • The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of <u>environmental conditions and the interaction with other species</u><u>. </u>

When an inferior competitor is excluded by the superior competitor, this is known as competitive exclusion. This occurs when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective or realized niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.        

 In the exposed example the organism is able to occupy a niche in the presence of competitors, which is the clue for us to classify this niche as a realized niche. The organism needs to interact in a certain way with its competitors. There is an interaction between taxonomic groups, or between individuals.
