Chapter 53.12, Problem 3LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which haplodiploidy influences kin selection in the eusocial insects.
Introduction: Eusocial insects are truly social insects. A hive of honeybee contains one queen that lays the eggs and thousands of her offspring female workers with nonfunctional ovaries. It is defined by the reproductive division of labor, cooperative care of their brood, overlapping of generation. The functional role of the male is only one that is to try find hive and mate with the queen, so they can start new colony.

- Polygyny is a common mating system in nature. Which one of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to result in a polygynous mating system? Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites. Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime. In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders. Your cousin Peter…arrow_forwardWhat causes sexual dimorphism?

- In the greater ani (Crotophaga major) (Riehl 2011) and the acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) (Koenig et al. 1995), a group of females shares the same nest. However, when some females begin to lay eggs in the communal nest, their eggs are often tossed from the nest by other group members. Use a cost–benefit approach to explain why females whose eggs are destroyed still remain with the group. Do you think the egg-tossing females are really cooperating with the others in their group?

- What is the cost of sexual reproduction for males of Teleogryllus oceanicus on Kauai island?arrow_forwardDifferentiate between planogametic copulation and gametangial copulation.arrow_forwardIn seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor The sperm of chimpanzees have faster swimming speeds than those of gorillas. Based on what you know about sperm competition, what would you predict about differences between these two species in female re-mating frequency and sperm viability? In chimps, females mate only once and sperm are viable for only a day In chimps, females mate multiply and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate only one, and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate multiply, and sperm live for only a day Which of the following sexual traits is…arrow_forward
- Explain primate relationships between the pattern of within-group and between-group competition, including reference to female dominance hierarchies.arrow_forwardFemale mimicry by males occurs in many species. For example, in the Broadley’s flat lizard (Platysaurus broadleyi), some males have the brown coloration of females while others are far more colorful (Whiting et al. 2009). Female mimics do secure some matings in the territories of their larger, more colorful rivals. Why are the bigger males (and those of the marine isopod Paracerceis sculpta) ever fooled into tolerating a female mimic? Why do female mimics occur in any species if the mating success of these individuals is lower than that of the bigger territorial males?
