Summary Introduction

To suggest: A possible advantage for many small eggs in the captive-breed environment.

Introduction: The management of nature and biodiversity from the excessive rate of extinction and erosion of biotic interactions is called conservation biology. In situ conservation and ex situ conservation are the two problem-solving approaches of conservation biology that save organisms from extinction. Captive breeding and seed storage of genetically diverse crops are examples of ex situ conservation.

Summary Introduction

To predict: The reproductive success of captive-bred females released in the wild.

K-selected reproductive strategies are favoured when adult survival is high, and populations are close to their carrying capacities. Explain the role of allocation in the evolution of such strategies in guppies
The survival and reproduction of young Lazuli buntings (birds) depends on the brightness of their feathers, which range from dull brown to bright blue. Juvenile birds with dull brown feathers are not attacked by adult birds and are able to obtain high quality territories and reproduce more. Juvenile birds with bright blue feathers are more attractive to mates and reproduce more when they become adults. However, birds with intermediate plumage are often attacked by adults and usually fail to reproduce. This is an example of what type of selection? Stabilizing Directional Disruptive Frequency-dependent Artificial
Adult Lake Trout and Chinook salmon live in deep, open water and eat small prey fish, but they have very different reproductive strategies. Lake Trout live up to 10 years and spawn (breed) every year near the lake shore. Most Lake Trout that live to adulthood eventually die in the open water and their carcass settles to the lake bottom. Salmon live 3-4 years and only spawn once. When they spawn, they swim up river in the Fall (sometimes all the way to MSU, via the Red Cedar River), where they build nests in gravelly river beds, lay their eggs in the nests and the males fertilize the eggs. Then, both the males and the females die. Q3. In 1-2 sentences, explain how the life history trade-offs of Chinook salmon and Lake Trout are different. How do such different strategies still increase fitness of the individuals?
