involves reproductive success
|
greater chance egg will be fertilized
engertically expensive to search for other female offspring survival with mate assistance |
|
|
|
What are the advantages to a female who engages extra-pair copulation?
|
outside the pair-bond, females gain resources, get assistance with offspring,and ensure that there is enough sperm to fertilize the egg, also genetic variability and reduce the effects of imbreeding
|
parent
genetics gain stuff |
|
|
what is the hypothesis of polygyny in females?
|
Utilizes resources of a male with a high quality territory
Sucessful rearing of offspring in a good territory. Sexy son hypothesis"good genes" by attractive features from the male. Cooperative hunting and defense. Costly to leave to persue a monogamous relationship |
coop hunting,
costly, sexy son resources |
|
|
What are three types of polygyny and examples?
|
1.female defense polygyny-males defend harems-elephant seals, horses
2.Resource defense polygyny-males defend resources-reed warblers,red-winged black bird. 3.Lek polygyny-males display at "symbolic" territories-hammerhead bats, prairie chickens. |
Resource
Lek defense |
|
|
what is an example of a polyandrous animal? What is the different about this animals in terms of sexual selection?
|
1. Jacunas, sandpipers,pipe fish
2. Sexual selection is reversed in this animal. The males are the chosey ones |
1.sand
pipe Jac 2. Reversal |
|
|
give example of sibling rivarly in a non-human animal
|
siblings compete for food resources from their parent "begging"
reddest gape in a nestling will receive more food |
food competition
|
|
|
Is external fertilization more often associated with male or female care? Present two hypothesis...
|
greater certainty of paternity, males usually release sperm after females release eggs, males will defend territories-male care
|
paternal
|
|
|
what kind of paternal care is observed in birds?
|
Biparental care- both parents incubate eggs and feed offspring
|
|
|
|
Describe brood parasitism
and example of it |
birds of honeyguides, cuckoos and cowbirds lay their eggs in other unrelated birds. The host birds provide parental care
|
|
|
|
What is the cost related to social groups?
|
competition for mates,food and nesting sites
Conspicuous to predators Energy spent maintaining social bonds Exposure to parasites and disease Greater risk of providing care to another's offspring |
parasites
mixed babies competition |
|
|
what are the benefits of a social groups?
|
Increased vigilance, mobbing dilution effect, confusion effect
Cooperative or helping behavior Social learning and information sharing |
|
|
|
Name three ways that rank in a dominance hierarchy can be established.
|
Confrontation(elephant seals) followed by experience (winners win losers lose-blue footed boobys
Associations with high ranking individuals ranking (dark-eyes juncos) individuals Status of parents or birthright (rhesus monkeys} Dominance hierarchy =greater access to resources and mates Advantages to stability related to higher overall reproductive sucess, reduction of confrontations and potential injury |
