The survival functions for Ensatina eschscholtzii xanthoptica and Ensatina eschscholtzii oregonensis were determined when both newt subspecies were exposed to western scrub-jays that had previous experience with the toxic mimic of E. e. xanthoptica
How would the survival functions differ if the scrub-jays had had no previous experience with the toxic mod-el?
a. The survival functions would not differ between the two newts.
b. E. e. oregonensis would have higher survival than E. e. xanthoptica.
c. The survival of E. e. xanthoptica would be even greater when compared with that of E. e. ore-gonensis.
d. The lack of experience in scrub-jays would not have any influence.
e. e. oregonensis would have higher survival than E. e. xanthoptica.
