monogamous species pair up to raise young but might still engage in extra-pair copulations. In contrast, monogamous species have only one social and sexual partner. Some monogamous species stay in their pairs for life, whereas other species may obtain different partners in different breeding seasons. monogamy is the most common form of monogamous mating system.

All of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier? Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible. Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile. and 2 Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of mating, no offspring ever survive development. hschool 3, Two species of mice coexist in a forest habitat. They are capable of mating and producing offspring. The offspring, however, are frail and die young. When Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, he observed the marine iguana. He later decided that the marine iguana evolved from the terrestrial iguana found on the mainland of South America. The marine iguana differs from the terrestrial iguana in several ways. The marine iguana has a flat…
All of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier? * Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible. Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile. Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of mating, no offspring ever survive development.

Most species produce more offspring than can survive in the environment due to limited resources. O True O False
In primates, monogamy: is related to dispersed resources is common is the norm only for humans occurs mainly in species with low parental investment

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. Your cousin Peter…
Females of a lizard species each produced, on average, about 15 eggs during one breeding season, and about the same number of eggs during each of the next four breeding seasons. This suggests that Group of answer choices the cost of reproduction is relatively high for these females the idea of trade-offs does not apply to this species the cost of reproduction is relatively low for these females this species is semelparous there must be high mortality among females in this species
