Which of the following is NOT an example of an r-selected population? Select one: a. Mosquito lifespan is between 42 and 56 days for females and 10 days for males. b. Minnows spawn 16 to 26 times per year, yielding up to 10 000 eggs per female. c. Houseflies are very tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions and thus have a broad range of habitat. d. Algae are capable of reproducing asexually and sexually to take advantage on the conditions of the environment.

Imagine you've discovered a complex of closely related species of katydids and crickets. The species vary with respect to parasite exposure and the ability to reproduce sexually or asexually. In a comparative analysis of these species, which result would support the Red Queen hypothesis? A. Sexual reproduction should be more common in species that have low parasite exposure B. Sexual reproduction should be more common in species that have high parasite exposure C.Asexual reproduction should be more common in have high parasite exposure D. Reproductive method will vary independently of parasite exposure
Use the information to answer the following question. Some species of sea stars are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Increasing ocean temperatures have impacted the environment of sea stars around the world. Which argument provides the MOST LIKELY explanation for why populations that use sexual reproduction will demonstrate increased survival than those that use asexual reproduction? A. The population that uses sexual reproduction will be able to reproduce at a faster rate and replace the individuals that do not survive new environmental conditions. B. The population that uses sexual reproduction will reproduce at a slower rate allowing for them to identify and adapt to the new environmental conditions. C. The population that uses sexual reproduction will have less genetic diversity which will allow them to adapt to the new conditions more quickly. D. The population that uses sexual reproduction will have increased genetic diversity which will allow the population to…

Scientists genetically modify male mosquitoes in the lab. b. Mosquito offspring produced by the matings do not survive to adulthood. c. GM male mosquitoes mate with normal wild females. d. The mosquito population decreases dramatically. e. Scientists release GM male mosquitoes into the wild.
Scientists studying reproduction compared three closely related species of bagworm moths. The reproductive methods for these species are given in the table. Which of the following research questions would provide additional information about the population level impacts of meiosis and sexual reproduction? A - How do the number of D. charlottae offspring compare with the number of S. rupicolella offspring? B - Do D. charlottae and S. rupicolella populations express greater genetic diversity than D. fennicella populations? C - Are the offspring of D. fennicella genetically unique compared to the offspring of D. charlottae and S. rupicolella?

Which of the following traits is more associated with an Opportunistic (Equilibrial) species? Which of the following traits is more associated with an Opportunistic (Equilibrial) species? A. Short maturation time B. Producing offspring at many different times over the course of life C. Producing a lot of eggs at one time D. High juvenile mortality E. High level of parental care
We learned from hermaphroditic snails in New Zealand and C. elegans that populations that are undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction in the same population can alter the frequency of outcrossing resulting in changes in genetic diversity. Identify the statement that accurately reflects a real result. a. Sexual reproduction prevents the ability of snails and worms to coevolve with their parasites. b. Sexual reproduction frequency increases in the presence of a stressor, like pathogens and parasites. c. Asexual reproduction is favored when there are pathogens and parasites in the environment. d. Asexual reproduction enables the Red Queen hypothesis to play out and enable the pathogen to win.
Which of the following is correct concerning the total number of ticks collected at each life stage for each species? a:The highest number of adults were of D. variabilis and the highest number of larvae collected were of D. occidentalis. b:The highest number of adults collected were of D. variabilis, and the highest number of larvae collected were of H. leporispalustris. c:The highest number of adults collected were of D. occidentalis, and the highest number of larvae collected were of I. pacificus. d:The highest number of adults collected were of D. variabilis, and the highest number of larvae collected were of I. pacificus. article link: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0201665 I don't know what else should be included in my question, everything is in the article link that i attached
Which of the following situations has revealed that mutualistic interactions can evolve from prior parasitic relationships? A. Yucca plants are pollinated only by moths of the genus Tegeticula; however, some of the moth species 'cheat" by laying eggs on seeds without pollinating the plant. B. Large-sized lice of the genus Columbicola tended to live on larger species of pigeons. Body size matching had a significant effect on the ability of lice to escape defensive preening by the host bird. C. The nonvenomous yellow-eyed salamander has the same coloration as the toxic California newt. Related nontoxic salamanders which do not mimic the newts are prone to attacks by predators. D. Glochidion trees and Epicephala moths are in an obligate mutualism with each other. Significant cospeciation led to an increase in diversity of the two species.
Spatial scales are interconnected in a hierarchical way. Whitman looked at invertebrate communities on subtidal rock walls to examine the relationship between local and regional species richness. His studies demonstrated that A. local, not regional, processes determine local community species diversity B. local species richness levels off at high regional species richness levels C. local species richness is determined largely, but not completely, by regional species pools D. local processes are unimportant in determine local community species diversity E. There was no relationship between local and regional species richness
