Iti do a cohort study on some new cute animal, and I discover that most of the individuals die at a relatively young age, and only a few live close to the maximum age for the species, what
would you predict about the reproductive strategy of this species?
O They probably produce relatively few offspring and invest a lot of parental care into each offspring.
O They probably produce a lot of offspring, and invest a lot of parental care into each one.
O They probably produce a lot of offspring but do not invest much parental care in any individual offspring
O They probably produce offspring only after individuals manage to live to close to their maximum age

Multiple choice
Fewer than 3% of animals engage in direct care of their offspring. When might the benefits of parental care outweigh the costs?
Choose the correct option and Explain why you choose that answer.
a) All of the options.
b) Species that feed on resources with high foraging effort (e.g., smaller insect prey versus larger insect prey).
c) Species with highly immature young, for instance those with large brains that have long learning periods.
d) Species with limited breeding opportunities.
In the eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus), mothers sometimes take parental favoritism to extreme lengths by killing their sons, but never their daughters (Heinsohn et al. 2011). Sex-specific infanticide occurs more often at nests that can be flooded during the rainy season. Sons spend longer in the nest than daughters. Link this factor to why it might be adaptive for a parent parrot to kill a son in a vulnerable nest occupied by offspring of both sexes.

- INTERPRET DATA Look at the two graphs in Figure 52-21. In which experiment did the parentals in the experimental group guard the eggs more closely? In which experiment did the experimental parentals guard the young more closely? Account for these differences. RESULTS: Experiment 1: As indicated on the y-axis, which measures level of parental care, parentals reduced their level of guarding the eggs. Eight of the males in the experimental group abandoned their nests, and egg defense was significantly lower in this group compared with that in the control group. However, after eggs hatched, there was little difference in parental care of the young between the two groups. Experiment 2: During the egg phase, there was little difference in level of parental care between experimental and control groups. However, after eggs hatched, the experimental parentals significantly decreased their level of guarding the nest. CONCLUSION: Male bluegill sunfish adjust their level of parental care according to their level of perceived paternity. In Experiment 1, parentals provided less care when they perceived that the eggs may have been fertilized by sneaker males. After the eggs hatched, olfactory cues indicated that the offspring were indeed their own, and their level of care increased. In Experiment 2, parentals cared for the eggs even though some had been swapped. However, after they hatched, olfactory cues from the offspring indicated that they were not the parentals own offspring. The level of parental care decreased significantly. SOURCE: B.D.

When heavily armored marine sticklebacks have invaded freshwater lakes where there are no predatory fish, their populations have evolved lighter body armor. Given what you've learned about evolution, which of the following explanations for why this happens is most plausible? O Young sticklebacks only grow heavy armor when they see predatory fish in their environment. O When sticklebacks don't use their armor, it shrinks. Then they pass lighter armor to their offspring. Concentrated pollutants in freshwater lakes disrupt the sticklebacks' ability to grow armor. O Heavily armored fish grow more slowly and breed later, making armor disadvantageous in these lakes.arrow_forward
- Conservation biologists have altered the evolution of salmon populations in captive-breeding programs. Wild female salmon tend to produce fewer large eggs because the large eggs contain more nutrients for the off spring, giving each individual a greater chance to survive. After just a few generations, however, captive-bred females now lay greater numbers of small eggs. Suggest a possible adaptive advantage for many small eggs in the captive-bred environment. What would you predict regarding the reproductive success of captive-bred females released in the wild?arrow_forwardWhy are there sexual conflicts of interest among primates between the sexes?

- Answer Plz.arrow_forwardThink critically A student want to study the Moulting in mosquitoes. He very much clear about the mechanism of Moulting but unfortunately he forgot to choose the right hormone. He has two types of hormone, juvenile hormone and moult inhibiting hormone. He tries with both the hormone in mosquitoes and observed the results. What will be the results to the mosquitoes development with the juvenile hormone and the moult inhibiting hormone. It's not an assignment or complex question. It's an entamology question. Kindly answer and Don't reject it under complex or essay type. It's not comes under those category. Thank youarrow_forwardFemale mimicry by males occurs in many species. For example, in the Broadley’s flat lizard (Platysaurus broadleyi), some males have the brown coloration of females while others are far more colorful (Whiting et al. 2009). Female mimics do secure some matings in the territories of their larger, more colorful rivals. Why are the bigger males (and those of the marine isopod Paracerceis sculpta) ever fooled into tolerating a female mimic? Why do female mimics occur in any species if the mating success of these individuals is lower than that of the bigger territorial males? Don't write from any online source..arrow_forward
