Cinderella Casque Experiment Hypothesis
Introduction:
The Rhinoceros Hornbill species isn’t a typical bird that you would often see flying around. The main physical characteristic you would notice on the Rhinoceros Hornbill is the casque located on the dorsal maxillary beak, almost representing as if the species has two beaks. The casque can be assumed as an adaptation, as they are found only on certain hornbill species that breed in low densities in certain environments – if the casque were to be harmful toward the species, it wouldn’t have been passed on through generations and would have lead to extinction. Through different hypothesis it is said that the casque plays a role in structural beak reinforcement, sex, and social status. However, the absolute function for the casque has still not been determined. The casque’s anatomy represents an air-filled cavity, which allows the enhancement of their calls through …show more content…
Possible results that do not reject the null hypothesis:
1. The casque amplifies their calls which was a way to intimidate the predator, which allowed them to escape without the help of nearby species.
Possible results that reject the null hypothesis:
1. Nearby species came to aid the one getting preyed which intimated the predator (2vs1) and allowed them to escape.
2. The furthest distance, when the nearby species couldn’t hear the call of the species getting preyed resulted in death. – the nearby species wasn’t able to come help.
Discussion:
If the results of an experiment reject the null hypothesis, it states that the original hypothesis was correct. The study was able to prove the hypothesis correct with the experiment completed. If the results of an experiment do not reject the null hypothesis, it states that the original hypothesis was false, and the gathered results had no relation with the
