Female spotted sandpipers aggressively court males and, after mating, leave the clutch of young for the male to incubate. This sequence may be repeated several times with different males until no available males remain, forcing the female to incubate her last clutch. Which of the following terms best describes this behavior? a. polygyny b. polyandry c. promiscuity d. certainty of paternity

Female parasitoid wasps lay their eggs inside the bodies of caterpillars. The caterpillars die when the eggs hatch, and the young wasps feed on the body of the caterpillar. Egglaying females of two species of parasitoid wasps were studied in special growth chambers in which a food source was either provided or omitted. This table summarizes some of the data collected. Identify the statement most consistent with these data. a. When energy availability is low, females put more energy than normal into producing offspring. b. When energy availability is high, females produce offspring with higher viability. c. When energy availability is low, females shift energy away from reproduction and toward their own survival. d. When energy availability is high, females cannot both produce viable offspring and maintain their own survival.
Which of the following is NOT a situation showing females have mate choice? A. Females mate with a male that signals his resistance to disease B. Females mate with a male that is preferred by other females C. Females mate with a male that wins the fight to monopolize her group D. Females mate with a male that provides a nutritional benefit QUESTION 35 The Grand Canyon is a mile-deep gorge in northern Arizona. Scientists estimate the canyon may have formed 5 to 6 million years ago when the Colorado River began to cut a channel through layers of rock. There are two closely related populations of squirrels living in the Grand Canyon area—one lives on the north rim, the other lives on the south rim. Speciation in these squirrels BEST fits which model? A. dispersive allopatric speciation B. vicariant allopatric speciation C. dispersive sympatric speciation D. vicariant sympatric speciation
