Question

more energy in the form of nectar, and are harder to defend. Researchers Astric Kodric-Brown and James Brown developed a cost-benefit model to help explain observed variation in territory size (S). Kodric-Brown and Brown wanted to explore how reducing territory quality would affect foraging behavior. They created low- density territories by removing half the flowers, and they compared them to high- density, unmanipulated territories. Which of the four graphs below best illustrates how reducing flower density will affect the cost (C) or benefit (B) curve of the low-density territory? (Subscripts indicate whether the curve represents a territory with a high-density (H) or low- density (L) of flowers.). A modified version of their model is shown below. Territory size (m2) Teritory size (m2) Territory size (m2) Territory size (m2) O a. Top Left b. Top Right O c. Bottom Left d. Bottom Rioht

Explanation / Answer

Answer from my perception is D..Bottom right.

It is clearly mentioned that unmanipulated territories. Hence the Cost remains same for both high and low density flowers.

High density of flowers gives more benefit compared to low density of flowers.

BH is always greater than BL
