High testosterone is often associated with shorter lifespan in mammals. However, you find a new species of mouse in which males live longer than females under field conditions. Which of the possible explanations below would NOT predict this pattern? Male-male competition often injures the participants. Females suffer costs of reproduction caused by the burden of milk production. Males, but not females, provide territorial guarding that improves the survival of their grandchildren. Females enter menopause and stop reproducing at age five, while males can reproduce until death.
Which of the following changes are most likely to occur in a male songbird that has a mutation in the cells in its anterior pituitary gland such that FSH and LH are produced at 1% of normal levels? increased courtship displays to attract females decreased GnRH production increased testosterone production decreased frequency of "singing" to attract females Submit Request Answer
How do different types of energy investment by females contribute to the reproductive success of a frog, a chicken, and human? Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. Reset Help embryos have gelatinous coat and lack internal membranes internal fertilization external fertilization embryos have internal membrane invest energy to the protection of their embryos by strong shells invest energy to the gamete production invest energy to the protection of their embryos by internal development Frog Chicken Human
Why some animals provide parental care while some other like clams(molluscs),barnacles(crustaceans),many fish do not provide any parental care?
For most species of turtles, embryos that incubate at lower temperatures typically produce males, whereas those that incubate at higher temperatures produce females. Higher temperatures from global climate change could lead to skewed sex ratios among offspring and a reduction in breeding success as males become fewer in number. What behaviors during the egg-laying season might lead to potential behavioral adaptations that could help maintain an even sex ratio? Pond turtles that nest in more shaded areas around their ponds. Sea turtles that nest during the cooler part of egg-laying season. Sea turtles laying eggs in a communal nest with other sea turtles. Pond turtles that have multiple clutches throughout egg-laying season.
In polygynous species, why do females in good condition invest more energy in male offspring than in female offspring? Females in good condition produce males in good condition but females in poor condition. Male offspring are more likely to produce more grandchildren than female offspring. Male offspring are more likely to help provide for the mother and her future offspring. Male offspring tend to mature earlier than female offspring to produce grandchildren sooner.

Parasites are often microscopic in size but have large negative effects on their hosts. If this is true for the parasites of songbirds, what predictions follow about their effects on male song performance, and how should females respond to the song of infected males as opposed to uninfected individuals (Garamszegi 2005)?
