Hamilton's Rule describes the relationship between cost and relationship in the evolution of altruistic behavior. Which of the following do not support Hamilton's rule: O In colonies of Naked Mole Rates, only one female is reproductive. Cattle egrets sometimes kill their siblings. Wood mouse sperm will sacrifice themselves to assist a "sibling" sperm to fertilize an egg. A Prairie Dog trills in response to an oncoming predator and is more likely to be eaten because it exhibits this behavior.

In a species of birds, males court females by dancing and subordinate males are seen to join a dominant male and help in his dancing displays, though the subordinate receives no mating opportunities. If the subordinate male DOES NOT inherit the dominant male's territory upon its death, how would you explain this cooperative behavior? O Altruism, because the subordinate is receiving direct benefits O Mutualism, because the subordinate is receiving direct benefits O Altruism, because the subordinate is receiving indirect benefits O Mutualism, because the subordinate is receiving indirect benefits
Per several primatological studies, the reason behind infanticide appears to be: aSuper aggression in males bIt is caused by pathological behavior cIt helps improve reproductive fitness dPost-partum depression in females
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
Regarding mating behavior, choose the false statement from the list: Some aspects of courtship behavior may have evolved from agonistic interactions. Courtship interactions ensure that the participating individuals are nonthreatening and of the proper species, sex, and physiological condition for mating. The mating relationship in most mammals is monogamous, to ensure the reproductive success of the pair. Polygamous relationships most often involve a single male and many females, but in some species this is reversed. Salmon swimming against the stream to lay eggs is an example of taxis. tropism. kinesis. cognitive mapping spatial learning Female Apanteles wasps lay their eggs in caterpillars of the genus Pieris. The site of the caterpillar initiates the egg laying behavior. This is an example of a fixed action pattern. problem solving behavior. habituation.…
There are three chief ideas of the handicap principle: 1) Animals communicate with éach other throughn sigi must be honest, and 3) honest signals are expensive. Stotting behavior (up and down jumps gazelles exhibit when they spot a predator before the gazelle runs away) often results in the predator leaving before it attacks, presumably because the predator knows it won't easily catch that gazelle. This clearly is an example of the handicap principle based on the three ideas. True False

Male California sea lion mating success is determined by the number of mates they can acquire. Larger males are more successful at maintain larger territories. Females remain in one territory for the duration of the mating season and larger territories support more females than smaller territories. Additionally, the most successful males will fast during mating season to remain present in their territory at all times. If they leave to hunt they risk loss of their territory and access to all the females present in it. Which of the following best describes sexual selection in this species? a. Males likely engage in male-male combat to maintain territories. b. Intersexual selection is likely stronger than intrasexual selection. c. Sexual selection on the females is stronger than on the males. d. Females will mate with smaller males at a higher frequency than larger males
Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why females are choosy? By being choosy, she can acquire advantageous genotypes for her offspring from her mates. By being choosy, she can acquire resource for her offspring from her mates. By being choosy, she can ensure that her male offspring can attract more females as well. Her seeming choosiness is a by-product of her stereotypical behaviors exploited by the males for mating gains. All listed above are reasons why she is choosy
During mating season, males of certain species will perform displays of aggression toward other males when approached while they are courting a female. This type of behavior is an example of altruistic behavior agonistic behavior fixed action pattern polygamous behavior predatory behavior The capacity to make changes in behavior on the basis of experience is known as a fixed action. learning. habituation. conditioning. Which of the following statements is not true concerning the optimal foraging theory? forager tries to maximize the energy gained forager tries to minimize the energy expended forager secures essential nutrients forager tries to minimize the risk of getting eaten while gathering food forager contributes to the growth of its population by gathering food
Using the attached table that shows the total score for submissive and dominant behaviors of the territorial male during each. Larger number shows more aggression in the resident individual. Low Aggressive behaviors (worth 1), medium aggressive behaviors (worth 2) and the most aggressive behaviors(worth 3). Based on the table:Did octopamine injected male residencts(crayfish) seem to be more or less aggressive by displaying dominance behaviors towards intruder males compared to their initial encounter with a male intruder based on theT test results?
Is the following case study an r-strategists or a K-strategists? Andean condors reach sexual maturity at five to six years. Reproduction is slow; females lay only one or two eggs every other year. Offspring are cared for by both parents for at least one year. Andean condors are long-lived and can survive for seventy to seventy-five years.
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.
