- What are the advantages of being social for primates? What altruistic behaviors have been observed in nonhuman primates? What is behavioral ecology? List and discuss four factors that influence and affect the social structure of a given species. What similarities and differences can be drawn between nonhuman and human primate social structures?arrow_forwardWhat is an example of co-option-- when a cooperative trait that originally served one function later came to serve a different cooperative function over evolutionarily time? There is no evidence that vampire bats hunt as cohesive coordinated group. Vampire bats help offspring, and then those offspring are more likely to help their own offspring. Dogs have traits for cooperating with dogs, but now these traits facilitate cooperation with humans.

- 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.arrow_forwardAll of the following are factors that influence primate behavior patterns, EXCEPT?

- Is the species a generalist or a specialist and how does this niche impact the species of the wild. The giant panda, native to China, and the raccoon, native to North America, share a common ancestor. However, their current status in the wild is anything but common. Raccoons are thriving. Opportunists by nature, raccoons forage on a variety of plants and animals in their ecosystem. Highly inquisitive and intelligent, raccoons use their opposable thumbs to crack open shells, investigate dens, and sift through rocky streams in search of crayfish. Although their habitats are shrinking, raccoons have adapted well to human encroachment and will actively seek food and shelter among the human communityarrow_forwardEndler (1980) set up two experiments, one in the greenhouse and one in the field to test the influences of mate choice and predation in determining colorfulness of male guppies. Identify the roles of mate choice and predation in determining colorfulness of male guppies. Identify the advantage and shortcomings of the greenhouse experiments. Identify the advantages and shortcomings of field experiments along the Aripo River. Identify other factors, especially physical and chemical factors, might influence male color.arrow_forwardWhat is the selective factor, or selective environment, for rock pocket mice?
