High testosterone is often associated with shorter lifespan in mammals. However, you find a new species of mouse in which males live longer than females under field conditions. Which of the possible explanations below would NOT predict this pattern? Male-male competition often injures the participants. Females suffer costs of reproduction caused by the burden of milk production. Males, but not females, provide territorial guarding that improves the survival of their grandchildren. Females enter menopause and stop reproducing at age five, while males can reproduce until death.
1.) Lynx mate in March and have litters of 3 to 5 kittens in May. Lynx kittens are born blind and naked . Their eyes open after 10 days. In 12 weeks , the kittens travel with their mother. They watch and learn how to hunt for hares. Their eyesight is more acute than their hearing or sense of smell. Lynx are active at night (nocturnal). Hares have litters of 2 to 4 offspring, with up to 4 litters over a summer. Hares are born with their eyes open and bodies fully haired. Birth weight doubles in 8 days. Hares use their good hearing and super sensitivity to ground vibrations, as well as speed and coordination, to escape lynx. Hares are active at night and spend the day grooming and resting. A.) Classify the lynx as a r- or K-selected species . Provide evidence from the information given to support your choice .
