Chapter 42.3, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The fight strategies in a population can be observed by Hawk and Dove type. The Hawk type fight strategy suggests that the individuals would fight to win and do not care about injuries, as the Hawks do. The dove type fight strategy suggests that an individual would initiate the fight, but retreat before an injury occurs, similar to the behavior observed in Doves.

In a population of solitary and independent birds, birds occasionally will build nests close to each other. Females will provision their young with food, but may not have enough for themselves. The bird may try to obtain additional food from their neighbors by visiting their nest. Occasionally the neighbor may share some of its food with the visiting bird. What is necessary for this altruistic behavior to persist in this population and why?
Which type of competition does not happen between members of the same species?
protecting territory
interference
finding a mate
maintaining a shelter

- 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 behaviorsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is a cost of living in groups? a. Increased risk of disease transmission b. Reduced competition c. Decreased ability to detect predators d. Decreased visibility to predatorsarrow_forwardClassify the method for sharing resources that occurs when some species of mice gather food at dawn and dusk and other species of mice gather food during the day. spatial partitioning temporal partitioning interspecies competition lifestyle partitioningarrow_forward
- Assume that you are studying a species of wasp that lives in hollowed out fruit. The species of wasp has soldier individuals that will sacrifice themselves to attack and prevent other individuals in the same species from taking over the hollowed out fruit. This type of behavior would be classified as which of the following? Mutual Benefit Spite Selfishness Altruismarrow_forwardHow 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.arrow_forwardHerd behavior benefits wildebeests by: helping individuals find mates. decreasing the chance of spreading disease. allowing altruistic behavior. increasing the number of resources available.arrow_forward

Some species of fish and birds travel in groups in which movements are highly coordinated, and can be confusing to predators. Some carnivores will band together when they try to capture prey. Some individuals can be lookouts.
