Describe and give an example of a dominance hierarchy. What role does it play in social behavior? Give a human parallel, and describe its role in human society. Are the two roles similar? Why or why not? Repeat this exercise for territorial behavior in humans and in another animal.

What is a common theme among birds and mammals that cooperate in rearing offspring. Group of answer choices offspring are more helpless than normal compared similar species it is difficult for young adults to breed successfully mating between siblings is very high being extremely friendly to strangers

Which of the following would not be a reason animals typically exhibit dishonest behavior? To purposefully decrease another animal's fitness To avoid conflict To stop extrapair copulation To increase their own fitness

In a coastal marine habitat, a species of fish is found. During the breeding season, dominant males establish territories and mate with multiple females. Females deposit their eggs in nests built by the males, who provide no parental care after fertilization. What type of mating strategy is most likely exhibited here? Group of answer choices Monogamy Promiscuity Polyandry Polygyny

Tinbergen's study of burrow locating by beewolfs was used to illustrate _____.     genetic basis of behavior     proximate mechanisms of behavior     inclusive fitness     astonishing homing abilities

Based on coefficients of relatedness, would a person be more likely to behave altruistically towards a cousin or a niece?

What have evolutionary psychologists argued about human cooperation? There is no fundamental human nature; it differs completely between cultures. O Humans are poor at detecting violations of conditional logic rules, yet we can easily detect a violation of a rule that involves cheating on a social exchange or social rule. Humans have talent for detecting social norm violation using pure logical thinking, however we still find social norm violations more difficult than logic and probability. Humans need to avoid inbreeding, form friendships, and avoid exploitation. The same general mechanism allows us to do all three: associative learning.

Characteristics of Mate Preference towards Sexual Selection

Consider the data that are summarised in the figure i. The data in part (a) are consistent with the hypothesis that alarm calling only in female black-tailed prairie dogs evolved in accordance with kin selection. ii. On the basis of the data in part (a), male black-tailed prairie dogs without kin in their home coteries almost are as likely (i.e., within 10%) to produce alarm calls as are female black-tailed prairie dogs with kin in their home coteries.iii. On the basis of the data in the figure, males and females produce alarm calls more often when the kin that they live with are offspring than when the kin that they live with are parents and siblings.iv. On the basis of the data in part (b), alarm calls in black-tailed prairie dogs constitute merely parental care (i.e., rather than altruism).v. On the basis of the data in part (b), mean alarm calling percentage is greater for male black-tailed prairie dogs than for female black-tailed prairie dogs.   Question 2 options:…

Upon observing a golden eagle flying overhead, a prairie dog on "guard duty" gives a warning call to other members of the prairie dog community that are foraging. Which of the following statements best explains this situation? O The guard dog exhibits altruistic behavior that increases inclusive fitness. O The guard dog exhibits innate behavior that increases survivability. O The guard dog increases the relative fitness in the prairie dog population. O The guard dog has higher individual biological fitness than the total population.
