Pregunta Respuesta
Promiscuity -no bonding -associations among females and males don't go beyond copulation [invertebrates, mating swarms]
Monogamy one male mates and remains associated with one female [birds and mammals]
Polygamy one member of one sea mates and remains associated with more than one member of opposite sex
Polygyny one male mates and remains associated with more than one female
Resource Polygyny males set up territories in which he allows females to live in and use resources, but excludes males
Female Defense Polygyny male follows females around as they forage and drive off other males from vicinity
Lek area where males assemble and stake out small individual territories, then female comes in and choose mates
Polyandry one female mates and remains associated with more than one male
Resource Defense Polyandry females set up large territories where males can live in and use resources but other females can't

Courtship Functions: -period of ritualized behavioral patterns before mating 1. species recognition 2. female choice
Sexual Dimorphism in polygyny polyandry promiscuity -sexes have different morphological traits -males larger and showier -females larger and showier -males and females about the same
Parental Care polygyny monogamy -invest time and energy towards offspring -polygyny: higher in females -monogamy: both male and female
Environmental Potential for Polygamy polygamy will occur when multiple mates, or resources gaining mates are defensible -high when mates or resources are moderately clumped in space
Case Study Redwing Blackbirds in Marshes -clumped resources in which males defend one territory and allow females -if resources were uniform, females could spread out and males could defend a large area for many females
Case Study of two Dragonfly species -white tall and widow skimmer -in both species, females forage over large area, but always go to edge of pond to mate -whitetail are leks -widow are promiscuous
