6. AO2: general support for the evolutionary approach comes from who that found mammals with similar genes have similar sleep patterns

  • Capellini (2008)
  • Meddis (1975)
  • Horne (1998)
  • Siegel (2008)

7. AO1: Sleep is a period of inactivity which is important for warm blooded animals who use lots of energy maintaining body temperature and for small mammals with a high metabolic rate.This refers to which evolutionary explanation?

  • Energy conservation
  • Waste of Time
  • Foraging requirements
  • Predator avoidance

8. AO2: Zepellin an Rechtstaffen (1974) found that small animals with a higher metabolic rate sleep more than large animals. This supports?

  • the waste of time explanation
  • the predator avoidance explanation
  • the energy conservation explanation
  • the foraging requirements explanation

9. AO1: Herbivores eat food with low nutrient content so have to eat more. Carnivores eat food with a high nutrient content so don't have to eat as often. This effects how long they can sleep for. This refers to which evolutionary explanation?

  • Waste of Time
  • Energy Conservation
  • Foraging Requirements
  • Predator Avoidance

10. AO2: Capellini (2008) looked at previous studies with standardised procedures and found that animals who sleep in exposed positions sleep less. This supports which explanation?

  • foraging requirements
  • predator avoidance
  • waste of time
  • energy conservation
