Question
10 male parrots wish to mate with a female. The female chooses to mate with the male that has the brightest tail feathers.
Male giraffes perform mating dances. The ones that perform the dance better are chosen by the female as a mate.
Male kangaroos fight each other, the winner claims the female to mate with.
Male red-winged blackbird sing and display their feathers to establish their territories. All of the females in that territory will exclusively mate with that male.
The impressive feathers of a male peacock are the result of this type of sexual selection

- In some cases, males or females do care for young of their own species that are not their own, as when certain male fish take over and protect egg masses being brooded by other males or when female ducks acquire ducklings that have just left someone else’s nest.

Under what other circumstances might adopters help nongenetic offspring as a cost of achieving some other goal?

Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites. Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime. In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders.

Populations in cold climates are fuzzier than in warm climates. Fuzzy-wumpkins mate for life.You transplant a reproductive pair of fuzzy-wumpkins from a warm climate into a cold climate, and a second pair from the cold climate into the warm climate. As a control you also transplant a reproductive pair from warm climate back to the warm climate and from the cold climate back to the cold climate. You then measure the fuzziness of the fur of offspring that were produced by each pair. Part A: If the fuzziness trait had a strong genetic component (e.g. high heritability) what pattern would you find between parent fuzziness and offspring fuzziness. (Figure A, B, or C based on image attached) Part B: The figure below presents the results of the transplant experiment. The x-axis shows the transplantation site for each reproductive pair. The y-axis shows the fuzziness of their offspring. The color in the bars shows the origin site…arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forward
- Assume you are studying a species of slug where the eggs are fertilized and transferred to the male. As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true? Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males. Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners. Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with. Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.arrow_forwardDescribe how courtship behavior drives sexual selection. Use the peacock as an example.arrow_forwardOf the following, which is an example of a postzygotic barrier? O Due to incompatible interactions between inherited genes, a hybrid fetus is unable to develop, and is aborted. O One species mates in spring, while another mates in summer. O A female spider of one species does not respond to the mating display of a male of a closely related species. O Cell surface proteins of one species eggs prevent sperm from another species attaching, so the sperm cannot fertilize it.arrow_forward
