- In some groups of marmosets, juveniles stick around to help their parents raise their young siblings. In doing so, they forego dispersal to a new group. Given this information, and this information only, what can be said of this behavior: O a. The juveniles have made a decision to maximize their inclusive fitness. O b. This scenario supports the Group Augmentation Hypothesis. O c. The juveniles have made a decision that increases their indirect fitness. O d. The juveniles have made a decision that maximizes their direct fitness. O e. This scenario supports the Temporal Variability Hypothesis.arrow_forwardOnce a mutualistic relationship evolves between two species, will natural selection and co-evolution cause the two species to become continuously more dependent on each other? Or is it possible for one to end the mutualism?

"Random changes of DNA can lead to new genes which code for proteins that give an organism a new adaptation."

- Ancestors of the beach mouse mayhave exhibited variations in their coat color. Because of the prevalence of visualpredators, the better-camouflaged (lighter) mice in the beach habitat may havesurvived longer and been able to produce more offspring. Over time, a higher andhigher proportion of individuals in the population would have had the adaptation of lighter fur that acted to camouflage the mouse in the beach habitat.arrow_forwardA. In terms of the barriers in place that keep species separate, explain whether song recognition is a prezygotic barrier or a post-zygotic barrier. B. Explain which type of isolating mechanism this wouldbe once you determine the barrier type. C. Discuss why song would be a barrier to mating with another species and having the incorrect song might change your fitness potential.arrow_forwardWhat role does ecology play in shaping themating systems of populations? my only go to theory right now is that it dictates mating systems but what else?arrow_forward
