Question
Chapter 53.11, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which extra-pair copulations increase fitness of males and females.
Introduction: The extra-pair copulation is observed in the monogamous species. Monogamy is observed when the individual has only one mating partner for the long term. It leads to the combined effort to raise the offspring.

explain Interrupted mating diagramatically
Polygyny is a common mating system in nature. Which one of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to result in a polygynous mating system?
Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit
Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites.
Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime.
In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders.

- Explain how courtahip behaviors increase reproductive success.arrow_forwardDescribe and distinguish between the several types of reproductive isolating mechanisms.arrow_forwardMany factors influence a species mode of reproduction. Use the descriptions of the following species to predict what system of hermaphroditism they probably display. 1. Individuals rarely disperse once they are sexually mature, and the largest males get the most matings. Females protect the eggs. [Select] 2. Resources are of uniform quality and evenly dispersed, so males are unable to monopolize them. Females are larger than males; Males protect the eggs. [Select] 3. Individuals are solitary, rarely meet others, and have no way of knowing the sex ratio in the population. There is no parental care.

- Determine whether the reproductive behavior is evolutionary stable or unstable: Cowbirds are nest parasites. The females sneak into other birds' nests and lay their eggs, often removing the host bird's eggs. The cowbird eggs tend to match those of the host's eggs, and often the host does not detect that the cowbird's eggs have replaced their own. The host birds raise the cowbird chicks to maturity.arrow_forwardWhat type of mating system developed in Round 1 without male parental involvement? Why? What type of mating system developed in Round 2 with male parental involvement? Why? If males and females had the same number of sperm, would the two rounds differ? howarrow_forwardgive one species that is classified or exhibit the following: infanticide show a photograph of it with its sexual traits (body stuctures, behavior, etc) and how these traits help their reproduction. explainarrow_forward
