- Why might individuals give up defending territories if the density of their population increases?arrow_forwardIn 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 benefitsarrow_forwardOutline the costs and benefits of defending a territory.arrow_forward

Do mother birds get better at caring for their offspring over time?arrow_forwardIn your response explain how your species communication would potentially enhance the fitness of another students chosen species. Primate Species: Bonobos (Pan paniscus) Communication Example: Bonobos engage in a variety of communication behaviors, including vocalizations, facial expressions, body postures, and gestures. One particular example of communication in bonobos is their use of vocalizations to express emotional states and maintain social cohesion. Bonobos communicate various emotions and intentions through vocalizations. For instance, they emit high-pitched “peeps” to convey excitement or pleasure, while grunts and screams may indicate distress or fear. Additionally, bonobos use soft “peep” calls during grooming sessions to maintain social bonds and reinforce cooperation within the group. 2.

The female chooses to mate with the male that has the brightest tail feathers. Male giraffes perform mating dances. The ones that perform the dance better are chosen by the female as a mate. Male kangaroos fight each other, the winner claims the female to mate with. Male red-winged blackbird sing and display their feathers to establish their territories. All of the females in that territory will exclusively mate with that male. The impressive feathers of a male peacock are the result of this type of sexual selection All Answer Choices A. Intrasexual selection B. Intersexual selectionarrow_forward
