Summary Introduction

To suggest: A possible advantage for many small eggs in the captive-breed environment.

Introduction: The management of nature and biodiversity from the excessive rate of extinction and erosion of biotic interactions is called conservation biology. In situ conservation and ex situ conservation are the two problem-solving approaches of conservation biology that save organisms from extinction. Captive breeding and seed storage of genetically diverse crops are examples of ex situ conservation.

Summary Introduction

To predict: The reproductive success of captive-bred females released in the wild.

K-selected reproductive strategies are favoured when adult survival is high, and populations are close to their carrying capacities. Explain the role of allocation in the evolution of such strategies in guppies
The survival and reproduction of young Lazuli buntings (birds) depends on the brightness of their feathers, which range from dull brown to bright blue. Juvenile birds with dull brown feathers are not attacked by adult birds and are able to obtain high quality territories and reproduce more. Juvenile birds with bright blue feathers are more attractive to mates and reproduce more when they become adults. However, birds with intermediate plumage are often attacked by adults and usually fail to reproduce. This is an example of what type of selection? Stabilizing Directional Disruptive Frequency-dependent Artificial
You are examining the impact of fish predators in a Trinidad stream on the life history traits of a newly discovered species, the puppy guppy. Compared with streams containing no predators, you discover that in streams with predators, mature male puppy guppies are smaller, puppy guppy offspring make up a lower percentage of gravid female mass, the average number of offspring produced by females increases, and the average weight of each embryo decreases. Which of the following responses in life history traits is the OPPOSITE of what you would predict based on the responses of Trinidadian guppies to predators? Group of answer choices mature male size number of offspring produced Percent of gravid female mass for which offspring account embryo weight
