Abedus herberti (Giant water bug) only males carry the developing eggs on their backs until they hatch. The eggs are heavy and make males conspicuous to predators. The males have limited space on their backs and typically mate with larger females (no other traits are selected for). Larger females mate with more males due to larger females defending larger territories than smaller females. Answer the following and justify your answer for each. a. Sexual selection acting more strongly on males or females? b. Is the choosy sex males or females? c. Is the competative sex males or females?

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.
