Question
Chapter 26.7, Problem 2CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
Some hypothesis for the evolution of cooperation in animal societies.
Introduction:
Evolution is defined as the change in heritable characteristics of an individual in a population over successive generation. It is the result of natural selection, mutation, hybridization and inbreeding.

Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior.
(1) there is variation among individuals;
(2) some of that variation is heritable;
(3) there is always competition between individuals for resources;
(4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring;
(5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.
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?
Explain the difference IN PRIMATES between contest competition and scramble competition, referencing how the distribution of different types of foods interacts with group size to affect levels of these kinds of competition in primate groups.

- One of the main objectives of BI308 is to learn to think scientifically about animal behaviour. I talked about the problems that arise when we tell fables or just-so stories about the things that animals do. Some of the tools and approaches behavioural ecologists use would seem to be designed to help us be scientifically rigorous in our conclusions. But are they perfect? Think about optimality modeling. Could it be misused, leading to the kind of unscientific stories we were hoping to avoid or other misconceptions?

Sex-specific infanticide occurs more often at nests that can be flooded during the rainy season. Sons spend longer in the nest than daughters. Link this factor to why it might be adaptive for a parent parrot to kill a son in a vulnerable nest occupied by offspring of both sexes.

- What 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.
