I find the link between the stimulus and principle incredibly tenuous. Is it a correct understanding that there really is no (or a very weak) causal link between small spots and vulnerability to predation presented??? The stimulus merely presents the phenomenon of small spottedness and the ability to avoid the detection of predators as coincident and not necessarily related or causal phenomenon.
Of course the correct answer is correct because it is the most correct answer choice. But it can be argued that the connection between the principle and the stimulus is tenuous at best since it requires the (easy to make) assumption of an earlier implied causal relationship
This might've only been me, but I do want to point something out on AC E.
A trait that is helpful to procreation can also hinder it in certain environments.
Did anyone else think that the "it" in answer choice E was referring to "procreation"? Looking back at it I guess it is referring to "A trait", but at first glace I thought to myself that procreation isn't hindered.
Oh man this was discouraging. I’m a fish keeper and it’s common knowledge that male guppies have patterns, and female guppies are colorless plain, so I chose A. I understood “more dangerous to one sex than to another” was correct since only males would have spots, thus only males are in danger. 1 star AND I have knowledge on the subject.

level one???? :
Shout out to John Endler for these experiments with the guppies, and helping differentiate sexual selection v. Natural selection.

Rahhh.
Is the second part of this question referring to males? (guppies) you mentioned it does but there is nothing indicating this. #help
lmaoo the hypothetical principle for B was awesome
how does the timing bar work when looking at past questions? why is it sometimes green and sometimes red? #feedback
small spotted trinidadian guppies catching enormous strays
they have the same problem too? ...
I chose A😭
Brutal blackpill for smallspotcels
shout out my short kings yall are survivors
Who else also googled Trinidadian Guppies lol
