Summary Introduction
To explain: How the differences of sexual selection in strawberry poison dart frogs (Dendrobates pumilio) could arise and affect the evolution of reproductive isolation in allopatric versus sympatric populations.
Concept introduction:
Strawberry poison-dart frogs (Dendrobates pumilio) are found in Central America mainly in the Costa Rica and adjacent mainland of Panama. Pumiliotoxin which is the main toxin in these frogs is due to their dietary intake of formicine ants. These frogs exhibit an amazing array of color variation which is considered to be the basis of intraspecific male mating calls which lead to ultimately fall the entire population into one species.

I need help identifying which assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is most affected, then indicating whether what is being described will act to establish or violate equilibrium, and lastly, whether the statement will increase or decrease that population’s genetic variation.
Corals synchronize spawning to occur on a single night during a particular tidal event, such as a spring tide. On that night individuals release sperm and eggs into the water, which then form zygotes. Larvae are carried off by currents and settle elsewhere. What assumption is this breeding style affecting and what will it do to VG of that coral species?
6a. Fill in the table below with the expected characteristics of r vs K selected species.
r-selected species
K-selected species
Timing of maturation
Longevity
Parental care
Number of offspring
Size of offspring
6b. Based on your table, would a species that provides long-term parental care and has few offspring be
considered an r-selected or K-selected species? What is an example of such a species?
6c. Why is long-term parental care associated with having few offspring during a reproductive episode?

- Select all that apply. Beetles from two geographically isolated populations are captured and brought to the lab. When an adult male from one population and an adult female from the other population are placed together, they mate, and the female lay eggs a couple of days later. The eggs hatch, the beetles develop into adults but are sterile. Which of the following are true? This is an example of post-zygotic reproductive isolation. O Sexual selection is likely responsible. O This is an example of pre-zygotic reproductive isolation. O Dobzhansky-Muller genetic incompatibility is likely responsible. Question 3 Choose all that apply. Which of the following are true of adaptive radiations? OAdaptive radiations involve relatively rapid speciation. The evolution of the Hawaiian silverswords is an example of an adaptive radiation. OAdaptive radiations can occur when an ancestral species colonizes a new arca and adapts to multiple open niches. Question 4 What are the three major steps of…arrow_forwardexplain the following : 1.

O Species A forms hybrids with species B and the hybrids are able to breed back with either of the two parent species to produce healthy fertile offspring. O Two closely related birds, the lazuli bunting and indigo bunting, sing similar songs to attract mates and even though human ears can not distinguish them the females never make wrong choices in choosing who to mate with. O Two species of turtles living in a large lake have different ecological requirements and never interact. O Several species of corrals in a Honduras corral reef release gametes about the same time but inter- specific attraction of gametes does not occur. O All but one of these illustrates a type of prezygotic barrier to gene flow.arrow_forward

When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed When working with fossils from extinct organisms When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive dataarrow_forward1) Choose 2 of the four evolutionary forces and explain it in your own words with an example. 2) Explain punctuated equilibrium in your own words and give an example.arrow_forwardA- the two nematode populations have undergone complete speciation B-  individuals reared on different bacteria produce offspring that have a better chance of survival C- The populations appear to be most likely in the process of speciation D- all individuals were equally reproductively successful regardless of mate combinationarrow_forward
