1.

Suppose you are studying a species of primate. Female primates generally live in 5-km2 home ranges that overlap very little with neighboring home range territories. The primates can travel up to 5 km in one day and both males and females care for young. Which type of breeding system is most likely under these circumstances?

Select one:

a. Monogamy

b. Polyandry

c. Polygyny

d. Promiscuity

2.

In a case where critical resources are distributed evenly in space and males provide about half of the total parental care, the mating system is most likely to be

Select one:

a. polyandry.

b. promiscuity.

c. polygyny.

d. monogamy.

Both questions form fomr the same concepts. I'm mostly confused with the promiscuity aspects such as the caring for the offspring.

I hope this can be sorted out somehow.

When I read about the evolutionary by Darwin, I found "breeding immigrants"! what is meaning of "breeding immigrants"? If the hybridization may have occurred by changing seasonal water patterns and environmental conditions,why we just assume that changes in the normal migratory pattern would result? Therefore possibly increasing to the number of immigrant individuals causing hybridization?

In some species, males donate only sperm to the female (i.e.,she does not receive a direct benefit). Give an example of thiskind of mating system (you may use a particular species or a typeof mating system) (1). What are two mechanisms that can explainfemale choice when females do not receive direct benefits such asfood (2)? Explain how each mechanism works and give an example(2).
