As the climate grows warmer, we expect many animal species to move towards the poles in an attempt to maintain their

preferred temperature range. Do data on fish in the North Sea confirm this expectation? Data for 25 years, 1977 through 2001,

on mean winter temperatures at the bottom of the North Sea (degrees Celsius) and on the center of the distribution of anglerfish

in degrees of North latitude are given below. Does the fish distribution depend on temperature?

1. In many animal species the males and females differ slightly in structure, coloring, and/or size. The hominid species Australopithecus is thought to have lived about 3.2 million years ago. (“Lucy,” the famous near complete skeleton discovered in 1974, is an Australopithecus .) Forensic anthropologists use partial skeletal remains to estimate the mass of an individual. The data below are estimates of masses from partial skeletal remains of this species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate graphical displays of the data...
