Which of the following do not support Hamilton's rule: In colonies of Naked Mole Rates, only one female is reproductive. Cattle egrets sometimes kill their siblings. Wood mouse sperm will sacrifice themselves to assist a "sibling" sperm to fertilize an egg. O A Prairie Dog trills in response to an oncoming predator and is more likely to be eaten because it exhibits this behavior.arrow_forward
- Why are human behaviors so difficult to study?arrow_forwardwhat are the long term vs short relationships in mate preference?arrow_forwardIn 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? O Altruism, because the subordinate is receiving direct benefits O Mutualism, because the subordinate is receiving direct benefits O Altruism, because the subordinate is receiving indirect benefits O Mutualism, because the subordinate is receiving indirect benefitsarrow_forward
