A bird has just observed a potential mate. In order for the mating ritual to begin, which of the following has to occur in this bird? None of the answers are correct. The sympathetic autonomic nervous system is activated. Afferent branches relay the signal to CNS that the mate is in the vicinity. Efferent branches must relay a signal to vocal muscles to start the mating song. O All the answers are correct.

You have received a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study male signalling in peacock spiders. After your university takes most of that money for overhead costs, you now have a small amount left over to spend on peacock spider research over the next 3 years. What is the first question that you would focus on that you think would increase our understanding of peacock spider male displays the most? State a relevant hypothesis and explain briefly how you would go about testing it.
Which of the following changes are most likely to occur in a male songbird that has a mutation in the cells in its anterior pituitary gland such that FSH and LH are produced at 1% of normal levels? increased courtship displays to attract females decreased GnRH production increased testosterone production decreased frequency of "singing" to attract females Submit Request Answer
In an investigation of fruit fly behavior, an enclosed choice chamber was used to test whether the spatial distribution of flies is affected by the presence of a substance placed at one end of the chamber. To test the flies’ preference for different substances, 50 flies were introduced into the choice chamber. A piece of ripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side A and a piece of unripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side B (Figure 1). The positions of the flies were observed and recorded at the start of the experiment and after 10 minutes (Table 1).
Animals attract mates through a variety of behaviors. Diurnal animals tend to rely on visual cues, while nocturnal ones make frequent use of pheromones. In recent years, environmental pollutants called endocrine disruptors are on the rise. Such chemicals mimic hormones in higher-order animals and interfere with the reproductive cycle. Which animal’s reproduction would be most seriously affected in the presence of endocrine disruptors? rats bees fireflies fiddler crabs
rences Belding's ground squirrels (Spermophilus beldingi) live in closely related groups. When they feed in the open, certain individuals (guard squirrels) watch for predators instead of feeding. The guard squirrels give an alarm call when a predator is sighted, allowing the rest of the group to run to safety. Researchers have noted that, because the alarm call draws attention to the guard, the guard is more likely to be caught by the predator and therefore has a lower survival rate in comparison with the other squirrels.Which of the following best explains the behavior of the guard squirrels? * anline la "eriods 1 and 2 iods MP1, Highschool hool MP3, MP4 The behavior of the guard squirrels increases the survival of cese relatives that share the genes of the guard squirrels. d Thu Fri Option Guard squirrels typically have recessive alleles, and by sacrificing themselves, they lessen the chance that recessive alleles will get passed on. The guard squirrels confuse the predator, lowering…
Serotonin has been shown to be sufficient to trigger the development of the gregarious form of the migratory desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria). What predictions must have been tested to arrive at this conclusion? You should know that you can inject serotonin as well as drugs that disable serotonin directly into nymphal locusts.

(a) Red-winged blackbird call only (b) Model of male only (d Call and model together Orange lines show pitch and duration of territorial call, from speaker The illustration above depicts a male redwing blackbird responding to two different cues either alone or in combination. As you can see, males demonstrate aggression only when both the red patch and the territorial call are produced by the decoy model. If the decoy model was actually another male redwing blackbird, what behavior would it be engaged in (be as detailed/specific as possible) Again, the question is asking what behavior the decoy model would be engaged in if it was a living bird.

Male California sea lion mating success is determined by the number of mates they can acquire. Larger males are more successful at maintain larger territories. Females remain in one territory for the duration of the mating season and larger territories support more females than smaller territories. Additionally, the most successful males will fast during mating season to remain present in their territory at all times. If they leave to hunt they risk loss of their territory and access to all the females present in it. Which of the following best describes sexual selection in this species? a. Males likely engage in male-male combat to maintain territories. b. Intersexual selection is likely stronger than intrasexual selection. c. Sexual selection on the females is stronger than on the males. d. Females will mate with smaller males at a higher frequency than larger males
The northern red-legged frog, or Rana aurora, is found along the western coast from British Columbia to Northern California. Their typical breeding season lasts from January to March. The foothill yellow-legged frog, or Rana boylii, is found along the western coast from northern Oregon to central California. Their typical breeding season lasts from April to July. What mechanism might keep Rana aurora and Rana boylii from mating? anatomical isolation temporal isolation geographic isolation behavioral isolation
Large testes are probably advantageous in species with sperm competition because larger testes produce more sperm which increses males' probability of fertilization females choose males based on testes size more testosterone production increases fighting ability of males larger testes produce larger sized sperm which have a competitive advantage over other sperm
Most anurans breed in water and rainfall stimulates breeding in many species. Ponds may attract aggregations of anurans during breeding season and males usually are the first to arrive. In most cases, females are attracted by vocalizations by males. Sometimes, vocalization isn’t sufficient Q20: This display is called “semaphoring”. Why was this behavioral adaptation necessary for this particular frog species? (please type the answer and asnwer all the parts to this question)
