What is an example of co-option-- when a cooperative trait that originally served one function later came to serve a different cooperative function over evolutionarily time? O There is no evidence that vampire bats hunt as cohesive coordinated group. Vampire bats help offspring, and then those offspring are more likely to help their own offspring. Dogs have traits for cooperating with dogs, but now these traits facilitate cooperation with humans. Captive food sharing, grooming, and kinship predicted co-roosting and co-foraging after release into the wild

Consider the following argument: Altruistic behavior in groups of related individuals is most likely driven by kin selection since related individuals would share DNA. Which of the following pieces of evidence would be most likely to weaken this argument? Data showing that only distantly related individuals are most likely to perform altruistic behaviors in order to protect each other Data showing that food gifts are given more common among family members than between unrelated individuals in a group Data showing that individuals that share a higher percentage of DNA in a group tend to show the most altruistic behavior between themselves Data showing that the more frequent an allele of a gene occurs in a population, the more likely that population performs altruistic behaviors
Which of the following ecological situations would result in INCREASED selection on the peaceful “dove” strategy relative to the hawk-dove game discussed in class? Increased value of the resource Unlikely that the individual will have future opportunities to get the resource Decreased cost of displaying All of the above
Because resources are limited, natural selection will favor organisms that acquire the most food and resources while expending the least energy, an idea called the optimal foraging theory. This theory is paired with another that more specifically explains patch movement and foraging behavior, which is named the marginal value theorem. true or false
Endler (1980) set up two experiments, one in the greenhouse and one in the field to test the influences of mate choice and predation in determining colorfulness of male guppies. Identify the roles of mate choice and predation in determining colorfulness of male guppies. Identify the advantage and shortcomings of the greenhouse experiments. Identify the advantages and shortcomings of field experiments along the Aripo River. Identify other factors, especially physical and chemical factors, might influence male color.
When Charles Darwin discovered the various finch species on the Galápagos islands, he was surprised to find so many different but related species in such a small geographic area. Which of the following best illustrates the correlation between competitive advantage and an individual’s traits in a particular environment? Different islands had very different food resources available, and only individuals that were adapted to eat those food resources survived and reproduced on that island. Finches had no natural predators on the island before Darwin’s voyage, allowing them to prosper on the islands. Competition between different species for food resources led to resource partitioning of the ecosystem. Mating behaviors in finch species ensure that different species of finch will not interbreed with one another.
Some bird species mate monogamously for life (i.e., individuals keep the same partner year after year). Other bird species are seasonally monogamous: they choose a new mate every year. Some bird species have what is called helpers-at-the-nest; these helpers are older offspring who stick around and assist their parents in taking care of babies born the next year. Kin selection would predict that you would find more instances of helpers-at-the-nest in the species that mate monogamously for life than in the seasonally monogamous species. Why? Be sure to address why they might still help in seasonally monogamous pairs.
Territoriality behaviors actually decrease competition between members of the same species. Explain why this is the case, and therefore how territoriality is favored by natural selection.
Kin selection (a) increases inclusive fitness through the breeding success of close relatives (b) is a way of perpetuating genes of nonrelatives (c) accounts for some forms of migration (d) typically involves mate guarding (e) involves ornamental displays and use of a lek
How can the "straight line instinct" lead to problems? Explain by giving two examples, one about human population growth and one that is not about human population growth.
According to proponents of behavioral ecology, Group of answer choices infanticide is beneficial for the social group individuals consciously behave in ways that ensure their fitness individuals act to enhance the survival of their species Individuals choose certain environments based upon the likelihood of carrying out aggressive behavior behaviors have evolved through the operation of natural selection
There are a wide range of potential costs and benefits of living in a group. Sometimes these costs and benefits can create tradeoffs with respect to optimal group size. The following graphs show two such factors – risk of disease (in red) and risk of predation (in black). Researchers can use these relationships to predict optimal group size (yellow star). Which of the following graphs is most consistent with what you would expect for these costs and benefits of group living?
During mating season, males of certain species will perform displays of aggression toward other males when approached while they are courting a female. This type of behavior is an example of altruistic behavior agonistic behavior fixed action pattern polygamous behavior predatory behavior The capacity to make changes in behavior on the basis of experience is known as a fixed action. learning. habituation. conditioning. Which of the following statements is not true concerning the optimal foraging theory? forager tries to maximize the energy gained forager tries to minimize the energy expended forager secures essential nutrients forager tries to minimize the risk of getting eaten while gathering food forager contributes to the growth of its population by gathering food
