Which of the following observations is NOT an example of intra-sexual competition?
Killing young individuals who are not one s own offspring
Guarding harem one has secured
Having a specialized penile morphology that can displace other malesâ sperms
Having a showy display to attract a mate
Is the following case study an r-strategist or a K-strategist?
American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Offspring are left to develop, hatch, and grow on their own, maturing in about three months.
All of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate
species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier?
Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same
time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible.
Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and
producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile.

Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of
mating, no offspring ever survive development.

Two species of mice coexist in a forest habitat. They are capable of mating and
producing offspring. The offspring, however, are frail and die young.
When Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, he observed the marine
iguana. He later decided that the marine iguana evolved from the terrestrial
iguana found on the mainland of South America. The marine iguana differs from
the terrestrial iguana in several ways. The marine iguana has a flat…

- Females of a lizard species each produced, on average, about 15 eggs during one breeding season, and about the same number of eggs during each of the next four breeding seasons. This suggests that Group of answer choices the cost of reproduction is relatively high for these females the idea of trade-offs does not apply to this species the cost of reproduction is relatively low for these females this species is semelparous there must be high mortality among females in this speciesarrow_forwardRead this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another."

Crowding prevents them from eating properly and so cannot be reversed by extra food. O b. The mice become extremely aggressive and fight each other. Oc. There is a lack of breeding sites, but this can be reversed by adding extra sites. O d. Crowding prevents their normal courtship behaviour. e. Starvation prevents reproduction, but can be reversed by extra food.arrow_forward
