Final answer:

The question involves understanding natural selection and behavioral biology in the scope of Biology. Concepts such as how species communicate and respond to information, and the subsequent impact on natural selection, are explored.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question 'Is the following statement true or false? A pebble dropped in water is an example of a pulse wave.' relates to the concept of wave motion in Physics. The rest of the queries involve understanding of natural selection and behavioral biology, as well as how responses to information and communication of information can have an effect on natural selection. This integration of ecology and evolution in these matters is typically discussed within a Biology curriculum at the high school level.

For example, when understanding how a female guppy's response to a male can impact natural selection, we examine both the communication between the species and the resulting behaviors, which may affect their reproductive success and ultimately, their evolutionary trajectories. Similarly, laboratory experiments with yellow buntings and butterflies exemplify how observable behaviors, such as fleeing in response to predators, can provide evidence for natural selection pressures within a population.
