The shells of some marine snails are highly variable, with some snail shells being solid and others having stripes. Predation by

birds is a major source of mortality for the snails. Scientists studying these snails found that while 47 percent of the snail population was striped, 56 percent of the snails eaten by birds were striped. What could scientists conclude about the snails?

For the answer to the question above asking, what could scientists conclude about the snails? The scientists can conclude that the stripes on snails might attract birds. I hope my answer helped you with your question. Have a nice day!

<u>Answer</u>: The scientists conclude that the striped snails are preferred by the birds.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Predation is a process by which one organism (predator) feeds on the other organism (prey) by killing it.

Since, in the data provided <em>56</em>% of the snails that are eaten by the bird are <em>striped</em> this clearly suggest that the striped snails are preferred by the birds as the frequency of striped snails becoming the prey is more than the solid snails.

How does the word mutualism relate to the world we live in? (biology)​
Pepsi [2]
Mutualism describes the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit.[1] Mutualism is a common type of ecological interaction. Prominent examples include most vascular plants engaged in mutualistic interactions with mycorrhizae, flowering plants being pollinated by animals, vascular plants being dispersed by animals, and corals with zooxanthellae, among many others. Mutualism can be contrasted with interspecific competition, in which each species experiences reduced fitness, and exploitation, or parasitism, in which one species benefits at the "expense" of the other. Mutualism is often conflated with two other types of ecological phenomena: cooperation and symbiosis. Cooperation refers to increases in fitness through within-species (intraspecific) interactions. Symbiosis involves two species living in proximity and may be mutualistic, parasitic, or commensal, so symbiotic relationships are not always mutualistic.

Mutualism plays a key part in ecology. For example, mutualistic interactions are vital for terrestrial ecosystem function as more than 48% of land plants rely on mycorrhizal relationships with fungi to provide them with inorganic compounds and trace elements. As another example, the estimate of tropical forest trees with seed dispersal mutualisms with animals ranges from 70–90%. In addition, mutualism is thought to have driven the evolution of much of the biological diversity we see, such as flower forms (important for pollination mutualisms) and co-evolution between groups of species.However, mutualism has historically received less attention than other interactions such as predation and parasitism.
