Question 1
(Multiple Choice)

Refer to the figure.
The figure shows flight energetics in great white pelicans that are gliding by themselves, flapping by themselves, or traveling in a group V-formation (indicated by the numbered individuals). What is the mean wingbeat frequency (in wingbeats per minute) of a pelican leading the V-formation?

This work would be based on optimality theory if theA) researchers expected that pelicans would, when possible, minimize their flight expenses.
B) fitness benefit derived from flying in a V-formation exceeded the cost of the behavior.
C) researchers had tested the prediction that other large, flock-forming species would also fly in V-formations under some conditions.
D) researchers believed that every aspect of pelican behavior was an adaptation, that is, an ideal solution to an environmental problem of some sort.
