Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why multiple mating behaviors may coexist in a population.
Introduction:
Behavior is defined as the different types of actions produced by organisms in response to stimuli which is either external or internal. It is responsible for establishing interaction between individuals of same or other species that provides benefits to each other.

- How does territoriality causes uniform distribution within a population?

Describe these two mating systems and explain how they are maintained in male digger bee population.arrow_forwardAssortive mating generally leads to lower diversity because; Assortive mating actually increases diversity Individuals choose to mate with individuals who are dis-similar to themselves Individuals choose to mate with other similar individuals Individuals choose to mate later in lifearrow_forward
- Describe how courtship behavior drives sexual selection. Use the peacock as an example.arrow_forwardAssume you are studying a species of slug where the eggs are fertilized and transferred to the male. As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true? Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males. Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners. Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with. Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.arrow_forwardMatch the scenario to the type of sexual selection: Question 10 male parrots wish to mate with a female. The female chooses to mate with the male that has the brightest tail feathers. Male giraffes perform mating dances. The ones that perform the dance better are chosen by the female as a mate. Male kangaroos fight each other, the winner claims the female to mate with. Male red-winged blackbird sing and display their feathers to establish their territories. All of the females in that territory will exclusively mate with that male. The impressive feathers of a male peacock are the result of this type of sexual selection All Answer Choices A. Intrasexual selection B. Intersexual selectionarrow_forward

- Assume that a scorpion presents a meal to a partner to entice them to mate. This would be an example of which of the following? Delayed Benefits Indirect Benefits Intrasexual selection Direct benefitsarrow_forwardThink about how we organized the mechanisms of sexual selection (mate competition vs. mate choice; resource-based choice vs. non-resource-based choice, etc.). Based on this organization, choose the pair of examples from the list below that are most closely matched in terms of mechanisms of sexual selection. Male red deer engage in physical contests to determine who mates with a female. Male mouse lemurs engage in scramble competition for female mates. Peahen (female) chooses to mate with a peacock that has large eyespots in the tail feathers of his magnificent display. Question 8 Think about how we organized the mechanisms of sexual selection (mate competition vs. mate choice; resource-based choice vs. non-resource-based choice, etc.). Based on this organization, choose the pair of examples from the list below that are most closely matched in terms of mechanisms of sexual selection.

Male butterfly transfers sodium to…arrow_forwardZooplankton (small animals that live suspended in the water) are sometimes isolated in small ponds caused by glaciers, called prairie potholes. Movement of zooplankton between these habitats is very limited. Because of the small size of zooplankton, each pothole can maintain a very large population. There are no known traits that females use to determine male quality, when males are present, nor is there any obvious sign of male-male competition. When assaying the populations for genetic diversity, you find that all have the same alleles and no new alleles have appeared since these habitats were colonized. At this time, no known traits are under selection. If all of these things are true, then are these populations likely to exhibit changes in allele frequency in the immediate future? O Yes, they will exhibit shifts in allele frequency in the next generation or two in random directions No, if these conditions continue the allelic frequencies will not change Yes, they will exhibit…arrow_forward
