Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why multiple mating behaviors may coexist in a population.
Introduction:
Behavior is defined as the different types of actions produced by organisms in response to stimuli which is either external or internal. It is responsible for establishing interaction between individuals of same or other species that provides benefits to each other.

- Match the scenario to the type of sexual selection: 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 All Answer Choices A. Intrasexual selection B. Intersexual selectionarrow_forwardWhy might individuals give up defending territories if the density of their population increases?arrow_forwardIn a coastal marine habitat, a species of fish is found. During the breeding season, dominant males establish territories and mate with multiple females. Females deposit their eggs in nests built by the males, who provide no parental care after fertilization. What type of mating strategy is most likely exhibited here?

- What are types of antagonistic interactions within populations? Choose All That Apply male-male competition for mates pair bonding between males and females competition for resources sexual selectionarrow_forwardFireflies use light signals to locate mates. Individuals with smaller, and thus less visible, lightorgans are less successful at mating. In January of 1985, a highway with bright streetlightswas constructed through a prairie where a firefly population lives. This created a selectionpressure for brighter (larger) light organs in the population. The light organ was, on average,4 mm long in the population prior to the construction of the highway. In 2005, the averagelight organ size in this population (before mating) was 6 mm. This firefly species has1 generation per year, and the narrow sense heritability ( h^2) of the light organ is 0.1.a) What is the strength of selection (S) for the larger light organ.b) What was the mean light organ length of successfully reproducing individuals in 1985(the first year of selection)?arrow_forwardSuppose that in maroon-fronted parrots, the number of chicks born each year in a population is compared to the number of predators in the same area.
