In some bee population, only large bees are big enough to unfold flower petals and obtain nectar and pollen. prezygotic or postzygotic
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
One concern about reliance on European honeybees for pollination is that
we are heavily dependent on a single species for crop production
these bees were introduced from Europe
European honeybees are not efficient pollinators
European honeybees produce relatively small amounts of nectar
European honeybees are unusually aggressive

- 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.arrow_forwardThere are trade-offs between offspring number and quality as well as between offspring number and parental future reproductive success, explain this in your own words in the space providedarrow_forwardWhich 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 effortarrow_forward
