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?

QUESTION 2 Two types of closely related birds are capable of mating together; however females of one species do not respond to the mating calls of males of the other species. This is an example of: Temporal isolation Behavioral isolation Habitat isolation Mechanical isolation Gamete incompatibility isolation O000

Among the Great Apes, yet unlike our chimpanzee and bonobo 'cousins', as humans we combine a unique evolutionary blend of different physical and behavioral traits commonly identified with either 'pair-bonding' or 'tournament' species. Which of the following options below inaccurately matches our shared characteristics with each type? Select one: a. moderate to high degree of sexual dimorphisms - tournament b. moderate to highly monogamy in coupled relationships - tournament c. male mate pickiness - pair bonding d. high parental investment - pair bonding e. females selecting mates for parenting skill - pair bonding f. moderate to high variability in male reproductive success & aggression - tournament
