A social interaction between an actor and a recipient can influence their relative fitness. When the outcome of such an interaction brings harm to both participants, the action is described as being _________.
A. asymbiotic.
B. spiteful.
C. antagonistic.
D. selfish.
i. Actors and recipients are characterised by increased reproductive success in mutually beneficial interactions.
ii. Actors benefit and recipients incur costs (i.e., are harmed) in selfish interactions.
iii. Actors incur costs (i.e., are harmed) and recipients benefit in altruistic interactions.
iv. Actors incur costs (i.e., are harmed) and recipients incur greater costs in spiteful interactions.v. Hamilton's rule can be used to show that an allele encoding altruistic behaviour could be favoured; spiteful behavior, however, never can evolve.

Prairie dogs that are near their own relatives when a predator approaches are much more likely to issue a warning bark than those that are near unrelated prairie dogs. The prairie dogs that hear a warning bark are more likely to hide in their burrows than to remain above ground. However, the prairie dog that gives the warning bark is putting itself at increased risk of being identified and killed by the predator. Which of the following presents the most likely evolutionary explanation for the behaviors described? a) The barking prairie dog chooses to warn other prairie dogs, leading to more prairie dogs living above ground. b) The failure of the individual to bark when surrounded by unrelated prairie dogs ensures survival of the individual. c) The barking prairie dog is alerting unrelated prairie dogs to the predator, so it is not giving any advantage to its own relatives.…arrow_forward
