Think back to Section 44.6. When researchers moved guppies from populations preyed on by cichlids to a habitat with killifish, the life histories of the transplanted guppies evolved. They came to resemble those of guppy populations preyed on by killifish. Males became gaudier; some scales formed larger, more colorful spots. How might a decrease in predation pressure on sexually mature fish allow this change?
Hydras and jellyfish both live in a freshwater lake that is slowly being acidified by the runoff from a chemical plant built upstream. Which population is predicted to be better able to cope with the changing environment? jellyfish hydra The populations will be equally able to cope Both populations will die.

Which of the following statements does not support the conclusion that giraffes are k-selected species? Giraffes are approximately 6' tall and weigh 150 Ibs at birth Wild giraffes begin mating at 6-7 years of age Newborn giraffes are capable of coordinated walking within an hour of birth, and running within 24 hours of birth Giraffes rarely give birth to twins.
Why are polyandrous mating systems more rare than polygynous matings? Only males are capable of multiple rounds of reproduction within a single breeding season Only females care for the young Females usually experience more intrasexual selection pressure than males Females usually devote more energy to offspring production and development.
Which of the following is associated with multiple reproductive episodes during a species’ lifetime? semiparity iteroparity semelparity fecundity
_______ Which of the following statements is incorrect? a. Rates of preterm delivery and low birth-weight in the United States are trending downward but remain higher in non-Hispanic Black American women and infants than in other groups. b. Reductions in the proportion of infants born small, early, or both would clearly decrease infant mortality. c. The international ranking of the United States for infant mortality rate has been improving since the beginning of the twenty-first century. d.

Birth Defects and Multiple Births A woman who carries multiple offspring at the same time increases the risk of some birth defects. FIGURE 42.18 shows the results of Yiwei Tang's study of birth defects reported in Florida from 1W6 to 2000. Tang compared the incidence of various defects among single and multiple births. She calculated the relative risk for each type of defect based on type of birth, and corrected for other differences that might increase risk such as maternal age, income, race, and medical care during pregnancy. A relative risk of less than 1 means that multiple births pose less risk of that defect occurring. A relative risk greater than 1 means multiples are more likely to have a defect. FIGURE 42.18 Prevalence, per 10,000 live births, of various types of birth defects among multiple aria single births. Relative risk for each defect is given after researches adjusted for the motor's age, race, previous adverse pregnancy experience, education, Medicaid participation during pregnancy, as well as the infant's sex and number of siblings. 4. Does a multiple pregnancy increase the relative risk of chromosomal defects in offspring?

Discuss Concepts Many city-dwellers have noted that the density of cockroaches in apartment kitchens appears to vary with the habits of the occupants: people who wrap food carefully and clean their kitchen frequently tend to have fewer arthropod roommates than those who leave food on kitchen counters and clean less often. Interpret these observations from the viewpoint of a population ecologist.
