Question
Answer
show the advantage certain individuals have to others in terms of sex... (pretty similar to natural selection, heredity variation, reproductive differential(in sexual selection)  
🗑
show (mate competition)  
🗑
Intersexual selection   show
🗑
show 2 Separate type of gametes  
🗑
show ametes are both the same size  
🗑
show two different sexes  
🗑
Disruptive selection:   show
🗑
show fewer will survive. While a larger gamete has more nutrients and a higher potential or fitness.  
🗑
Bateman’s hypothesis   show
🗑
show number of mates obtained  
🗑
Parental investment theory (Robert Trivers)   show
🗑
show Weapons for aggression and ornaments for attracting opposite sex  
🗑
show The ratio of sexually active males to sexually receptive females  
🗑
Cukoloidy:   show
🗑
show Display sites w/ no resources where peafowl rattle their tails and display their eyespots  
🗑
show alpha male system  
🗑
show -Satellite males: male hangs nearby and waits for opportunity to mate -Sneaker males: male stays undetected until he sneaks upon a mate  
🗑
Cryptic female choice   show
🗑
Mate guarding   show
🗑
Good parent theory   show
🗑
show Females are exploitative in terms of pre-existing sensory biases but derive no benefits from being choosey  
🗑
Runaway selection theory   show
🗑
Good genes theory   show
🗑
Healthy mates theory   show
🗑
show suggests that reliable signals must be costly to the signaler, costing the signaler something that could not be afforded by an individual with less of a particular trait.  
🗑
Sexual conflict (traumatic insemination)   show
🗑
show males mate with several females  
🗑
Polyandry   show
🗑
Polygynandry or plural breeding   show
🗑
show Indiscriminate sexual behavior with multiple mates and no social association  
🗑
Mate guarding hypothesis   show
🗑
Why are males ever voluntarily monogamous?   show
🗑
show If multiple males took care of the females and their offspring, it is beneficial.  
🗑
show Two individuals (one of each sex) can better defend a critical resource, such as safe refuge, and this can select for pair formation and shared defense  
🗑
show Females in pairs won significantly more fights than single females. A similar but weaker pattern was observed for males  
🗑
Female enforced monogamy   show
🗑
show A male gains more fitness by providing parental care for offspring of his mate than by seeking out additional sexual partners  
🗑
Monogamy in mammals is   show
🗑
show Common around 90%. Some are socially monogamous and some are sexually. There are short term monogamies which last the breeding season and then there are long term, life long monogamies.  
🗑
show - Freed from rearing, more offspring - Fertility insurance hypothesis - Good genes hypothesis - Genetic compatibility hypothesis  
🗑
show an example would be the egg of a polyandrous bird is more likely to hatch than a monogamous bird because since they mate with more than one male they have insurance against infertile males.  
🗑
show females mate with more than one male because their partner is of lower genetic quality than her extra pair partner whose genes will improve offspring viability or attractiveness  
🗑
Genetic compatibility hypothesis   show
🗑
show More mates means more resources received form the sexual partners of a female  
🗑
show More mates = more caregivers to help rear female offspring  
🗑
Better protection hypothesis   show
🗑
Infanticide reduction hypothesis   show
🗑
show males fight with other males to monopolize females  
🗑
Resource defense polygyny   show
🗑
Lek polygyny   show
🗑
Scramble competition polygyny   show
🗑
Polygyny threshold hypothesis   show
🗑
show all males aggregate near resources  
🗑
Hotshot hypothesis   show
🗑
Female preference hypothesis   show
🗑
show Behaviors by a parent to enhance the fitness of offspring, including incubation, feeding, and defense  
🗑
show Traits involved with growth, reproduction, and survivorship  
🗑
Maternal care:   show
🗑
show Parental care that a male provides to offspring  
🗑
show Both parent provide care for offspring  
🗑
Female-biased parental care   show
🗑
show Stop growing at a certain point  
🗑
Indeterminant growth:   show
🗑
Iteroparity   show
🗑
show A species is considered this if it is characterized by a single reproductive episode before death  
🗑
Cost-benefit analysis   show
🗑
Brood reduction   show
🗑
show The idea that the parent of a parasite bird will harass, harm the offspring/nest of the host if they try to reject the parasite egg.  
🗑
Parent offspring theory:   show
🗑
show They use the Mafia Hypothesis: they monitor nest and if host rejects eggs they kill all of her eggs and destroys the nest. The host learns this and begins to take care of cowbird egg unwillingly.  
🗑
show Stronger sibling killing off a weaker sibling to take advantage of even more resources in their absence.  
🗑
show when a parent has limited resources for all of its' offspring and have to judge a chick by its' appearance or reproductive value (will live to breed) to determine whether it is useful to use energy and resources to take care of it  
🗑
