Which of the following habitat and life history traits
would you expect in a species that reproduces
sexually, reaches sexual maturity relatively quickly,
and provides little parental care? Choose all that
apply.
A heavy parasite load
A predictable environment
A low parasite load
An unpredictable environment
A small number of eggs per reproductive effort
A large number of eggs per reproductive effort
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
Is the following case study an r-strategist or a K-strategist?
American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Offspring are left to develop, hatch, and grow on their own, maturing in about three months.
