Phalaropes are shore birds with brightly colored females and dull colored males. Females are larger than males and compete with each other for access to males. Considering sexual selection theory, select the idea(s) below that seem(s) most plausible in light of the pattern of sexual dimorphism?

With your knowledge of sexual selection theory, can you formulate a hypothesis that explains why female courtship might have evolved in this species? Is there anything about pipefish biology that might support your hypothesis?
In seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor The sperm of chimpanzees have faster swimming speeds than those of gorillas. Based on what you know about sperm competition, what would you predict about differences between these two species in female re-mating frequency and sperm viability? In chimps, females mate only once and sperm are viable for only a day In chimps, females mate multiply and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate only one, and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate multiply, and sperm live for only a day Which of the following sexual traits is…
Uniquely explain the relationship between primate mating groups and sexual dimorphism in your own words.
Assume you are studying a species of slug where the eggs are fertilized and transferred to the male. As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true? Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males. Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners. Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with. Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.
Female spotted sandpipers aggressively court males and, aftermating, leave the clutch of young for the male to incubate. Thissequence may be repeated several times with different males untilno available males remain, forcing the female to incubate her lastclutch. Which of the following terms best describes this behavior?(A) polygyny(B) polyandry(C) promiscuity(D) certainty of paternity
Bateman (1948) and Trivers (1972) came to the conclusion that sexual selection is typically a more potent evolutionary mechanism in males than females because typically... a. Females are likely to combat each other for mates O b.Male limitations to reproductive success is gamete production O c. Males typically participate in more parental care than females O d. Females invest substantially more energy than males in gametes
In many hummingbird species in North America, males but not females have a bright red throat patch and both sexes show a preference for red-colored flowers over those with different colors. How would you determine that the sexual dimorphism in throat patch coloration in male hummingbirds evolved by sensory exploitation?
in sexual selection I need an explanation of why one sex is more choosy than the other
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…
Because the reproductive success of female Hanuman langurs (Semnopithecus entellus) is almost certainly lowered when a newly installed male kills their young infants, selection should favor countermeasures against infanticidal males. In this light, why might already pregnant females mate with a new male soon after a takeover even though they are not ovulating? What significance do you attach to the discovery that when mares are impregnated by stallions at stables away from their home locations, they will also copulate repeatedly with the males in their home stables upon their return?
Nuptial gift in crickets: duormous are male Understand the examples of species with sex-role reversal. Sex role reversal In some empid fies, the operational sex ratio is heavily female biased, because most males are off hunting for insect prey that is used as a nuptial gift When a male enters the swarm with a nuptial gift. he may find females advertising themselves with unusually large patterned wings, legs or abdomen. Is this always the case? m le diaclans Sex role reversal Sex role reversal Pipefish males have a brood pouch in which females lay their eggs.
