Chapter 56.6, Problem 3SB
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason for the settlement of a red-winged blackbird female in the territory of a male, which is already occupied by another female.
Introduction:
The male red-winged blackbird is responsible for establishing resource-rich territories. Females choose their mate on the basis of the territory occupied by them. Parental care patterns affect mating systems.

Polygyny is a common mating system in nature. Which one of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to result in a polygynous mating system?
Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit
Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites.
Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime.
In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders.

- A researcher discovered a species of moth that lays its eggs on oak trees. Eggs are laid at two distinct times of the year: early in spring when the oak trees are flowering and in midsummer when flowering is past. Caterpillars from eggs that hatch in spring feed on oak flowers and look like oak flowers. But caterpillars that hatch in summer feed on oak leaves and look like oak twigs. How does the same population of moths produce such different-looking caterpillars on the same trees? To answer this question, the biologist caught many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs. He put at least one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae from each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light Temperature Day Length Springlike Springlike conditions listed below.

Resources are of uniform quality and evenly dispersed, so males are unable to monopolize them. Females are larger than males; Males protect the eggs. [Select] 3.
