Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason for the dispersal of female eggs of fish peacock wrasse (Symphodus tinca) with eggs of other female fishes in the same nest and explain the trade-off.
Concept introduction:
The female species of fish peacock wrasse (Symphodus tinca) lays the eggs in the nest of the other species to protect the eggs from getting damaged and from the action of other predators. The eggs of fishes which hatch survive and have a long expectancy of survival. The laying of the eggs in various seasons is necessary for the survival of species of the fishes. This maintains the population number and the size of the species of these fishes.

- In animal husbandary,if two closely related animals are mated for a few generation,it result in loss of fertility and vigour.why is this so?arrow_forwardIn a population of birds, males have long red tail feathers that they use in mating displays, and also sing in the mornings to attract females. You find that some males have more red feathers in their tails than others, while some sing for longer periods of time. In this bird species, a high proportion of eggs fail to hatch. You measure the number of eggs that successfully hatch that are fathered by each male bird, and find that the number of successful hatchlings is proportional to how long a male sings, but is unrelated to the amount of red in his tail. Question: Propose an explanation for why males evolved both to sing and to have red tails, and how females likely evolved in response to both traits.
