Now imagine what might happen in warmer weather. the kingbirds from the previous question regulate their body temperature and are relatively unaffected by the change. the insects, however, move much more swiftly in the warmer temperatures, and are less easily caught. how would this change the functional response of the birds?

The functional response will be decreased for the kingbirds

Explanation: If the insects could move much more swiftly in that weather, the kingbirds wouldn't easily eat those insects. So, the functional response will shift down if you see in a graphic of curves.

Now imagine what might happen in warmer weather. The Kingbirds from the previous question regulate their body temperature and are relatively unaffected by the change. The insects, however, move much more swiftly in the warmer temperatures, and are less easily caught. How would this change the functional response of the birds?

• The functional response curve will shift up

• The functional response curve will shift down.

• The functional response curve wont change at all

• It will change to one of the other types of response

The functional response curve will shift down

Explanation:

Since the Eastern Kingbird hunts by catching flying insects in mid-air, an approach which requires impressive and energetic acrobatic maneuvers.

And in the warmer temperature the insects move more swiftly and are less easily caught the functional response curve will drop shifting down as observed on the graph.

you know they are heterozygous for a trait because they have it as jj or jj.
