Chapter 26, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason behind the aggressive encounters among members of similar species being harmless.
Introduction:
The scarcity leads to competition among the members of same species. This competition is for the survival and reproduction of the members. Since the members of the same species require same

What is an example of intraspecific competition?
Regarding mating behavior, choose the false statement from the list:
Some aspects of courtship behavior may have evolved from agonistic interactions.
Courtship interactions ensure that the participating individuals are nonthreatening and of the proper species, sex, and physiological condition for mating.
The mating relationship in most mammals is monogamous, to ensure the reproductive success of the pair.
Polygamous relationships most often involve a single male and many females, but in some species this is reversed.
Salmon swimming against the stream to lay eggs is an example of
taxis.
tropism.
kinesis.
cognitive mapping
spatial learning
Female Apanteles wasps lay their eggs in caterpillars of the genus Pieris. The site of the caterpillar initiates the egg laying behavior. This is an example of

- In a species of birds, males court females by dancing and subordinate males are seen to join a dominant male and help in his dancing displays, though the subordinate receives no mating opportunities. If the subordinate male DOES NOT inherit the dominant male's territory upon its death, how would you explain this cooperative behavior?

- Consider the following argument: Altruistic behavior in groups of related individuals is most likely driven by kin selection since related individuals would share DNA. Which of the following pieces of evidence would be most likely to weaken this argument? Data showing that only distantly related individuals are most likely to perform altruistic behaviors in order to protect each other Data showing that food gifts are given more common among family members than between unrelated individuals in a group Data showing that individuals that share a higher percentage of DNA in a group tend to show the most altruistic behavior between themselves Data showing that the more frequent an allele of a gene occurs in a population, the more likely that population performs altruistic behaviorsarrow_forwardPlease create a very detailed experiment regarding the following ultimate hypotheiss about meerkats behavior but withan assumption that there are unlimited resources.arrow_forwardWhat are types of antagonistic interactions within populations?
