Heres my critter the SlidingDM's Critter.
SlidingDm's burrows down into the coral cliff when it is disturbed, Name and describe any adaptive advantage to the SlidingD'ms burrowing when disturbed and identify the environmental cue causing the response.
Environmental Cue: touch
ReplyDeleteOrientation: negative thigmotaxis
Adaptive Advantage: This response might be adaptive to avoid predation.. which helps it survive. :)
Hi Tevita - what disturbs your SlidingDm! I think Rita is pretty correct, but I'm looking forward to your answer too.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think that "burowing down" might have something to do with gravity. I think the stimulus might be aversion to being touched so that is negatively thigmotaxis. What do you think about that Tevita?
