Individuals in a group may gain protection from I predators because of the dilution effect: when o predator stocks', the larger the number of prey individuals in the group, me smaller the chance that any particular member of the group will be the victim. Foster and Treherne" tested whether the dilution effect occurred when o predatory fish attacked groups of a marine insect, ine ocean skater. A subset of their data is presented in the table, which shows the number of predator attacks (per 5 minutes) on ocean skater groups differing in size. Calculate the average number of attacks (per 5 minutes! for each group size. Do the fish predators show a clear preference for attacking small groups over large groups [or vice versa)? Explain. For each group size, convert the average that you calculated for question 1 into the average number of attacks per individual (per 5 minutes) Is there a consistent relationship between the overage number of per individual (per 5 minutes) and group size? Explain. Are these results consistent with the dilution effect?
