This exam, complete with detailed solutions, focuses on parental care in animals, covering topics like the dilution effect and various forms of parental care (behavioral defense, nutrient provisioning, environmental regulation, behavioral transport, chemical defense, teaching), as well as reasons for parental neglect. It explores factors affecting parental care, offspring recognition, and parental favoritism hypotheses. Useful for animal behavior and evolutionary biology students, it provides a comprehensive review of key concepts, enhancing understanding and critical thinking. Multiple-choice and short-answer questions make it valuable for exam preparation and self-assessment. It also touches on kin discrimination, offspring recognition levels, and why host parents don't reject parasitic young. The content is structured for learning and retention, making it an excellent study aid.

the || dilution || effect || - || Correct || answer || ✔Many || prey || animals || would || not || be || able || to || fend || off || their || predators || alone, || group-living || individuals, || through || their || safety || in || numbers List || the || common || forms || of || parental || care || in || animals || - || Correct || answer || ✔Behavioral || defense, || nutrient || provisioning, || environmental || regulation || (temperature, || oxygen, || water), || behavioral || transport, || chemical || defense, || teaching. Why || would || evolution || favor || parental || neglect? || - || Correct || answer || ✔A || Quality/quantity || tradeoff. || Never || behaviorally || attending || to || young || is || typically || associated || with || one || of || two || conditions: || (1) || a || species || that || produces || many || offspring || at || one || time, || and/or || (2) || a || species || with || prospects || for || many || lifetime || breeding || opportunities parental || care || - || Correct || answer || ✔Any || physiological || or || behavioral || investment || by || a || parent || to || offspring || that || comes || at || the || expense || of || self oviparous || - || Correct || answer || ✔egg-laying || species Parental || Behavioral || defense || - || Correct || answer || ✔Among || the || most || common || forms || of || parental || care, || parents || often || will || physically/spatially || attend || to || their ||
eggs || or || hatched/born || young || in || order || to || defend || them || from || a || variety || of || biotic || threats, || such || as || predators || and || parasites Parental || Nutrient || provisions || - || Correct || answer || ✔This || is || the || most || common || form || of || parental || care. || Parents || can || invest || in || young || by || providing || them || with || nourishment || either || before || hatch/birth || (e.g. || egg || yolk, || placenta) || or || after || hatch/birth || (e.g. || delivering || food || to || them, || or || mammary || milk). Parental || Behavioral || transport || - || Correct || answer || ✔This || form || of || parental || care || is || most || common || in || oviparous || and || altricial || and || precocial, || some || parents || have || evolved || to || transport || their || immature, || relatively || immobile || young || from || one || site || to || another. altricial || - || Correct || answer || ✔Offspring || in || a || species || are || a || very || immature || young || species, || i.e. || naked, || blind, || helpless precocial || - || Correct || answer || ✔Offspring || are || very || mature || young, || i.e. || mobile, || active Parental || Chemical || defense || - || Correct || answer || ✔In || order || to || protect || their || young, || parents || may || endow || their || offspring || with || noxious || chemicals || that || leave || them || distasteful || and || unpalatable || to || potential || predators. || This || requires || either || a || specialized || storage || or || chemoprotective || physiological || mechanism. Parental || Environmental || regulation || - || Correct || answer || ✔This || is || a || broad || class || of || parental || efforts || aimed || largely || at || controlling || the || abiotic || (and || occasionally || biotic) || conditions || of || development. || Examples || include || site || selection, || ensuring ||
What || are || the || main || factors || that || drive || the || evolution || of || intricate || offspring || recognition || mechanisms? || - || Correct || answer || ✔(1) || raising || young || around || other || species (2) || raising || young || in || large || groups (3) || when || some || young || are || more || valuable || than || others (4) || when || you || might || mistakenly || care || for || the || wrong || offspring Why || a || need || to || recognize || your || young? || - || Correct || answer || ✔1) || aggregations || of || offspring || are || common
Silver-spoon || Hypothesis || - || Correct || answer || ✔The || most || valuable, || typically || the || oldest || and/or || phenotypically || best The || good-kid || hypothesis || - || Correct || answer || ✔1) || When || environmental || conditions || are || challenging || (insurance || policy || hypothesis)
kin || selection || - || Correct || answer || ✔component || of || natural || selection || and || gets || at || the || possibility || that || animals || may || act || for || the || 'good || of || the || family' || if || it || means || such || behavior || results || in || more || optimal || fitness || prospects || than || acting || for || the || good || of || itself In || one || sentence, || explain || what || the || concept || of || inclusive || fitness || adds || to || our || understanding || of || evolution || and || adaptation || in || animals. || - || Correct || answer || ✔Animal || behaviors || that || don't || seem || adaptive, || because || they || don't || elevate || survival || or || reproduction || of || that || individual, || can || be || understood || as || adaptive || if || we || appreciate || how || they || impact || their || inclusive || fitness || (i.e. || the || behavior || actually || helps || the || survival || and/or || reproduction || of || family || members || and || the || genes || they || share || in || common). Hamilton's || Rule || - || Correct || answer || ✔in || addition || to || parameterizing || the || cost- benefit || trade-offs || of || kin-targeted || behavior, || it || considers || the || degree || to || which || you're || related || to || the || individual(s) || towards || which || a || helping || behavior || may || be || directed Hamilton's || Rule || Equation || - || Correct || answer || ✔rB || > || c r || = || coefficient || of || relatedness B || = || benefits || of || directing || your || behavior || towards || kin c || = || costs || of || directing || your || behavior || towards || kin coefficient || of || relatedness || - || Correct || answer || ✔The || probability || that || you || share || a || certain || proportion || (thus, || the || number || ranges || from || 0 || -1) || of || genes || in || common || with || a || particular || relative; || 0 || meaning || not || related || and || 1 || meaning || related, || we || are || related || to || each || of || our || parents || by || 0.

for || offspring. || So || the || sister || will || lose || c || = || 5 || fitness || units || by || doing || this || but || gain || b || = || 9 || units. || For || rb || > || c, || we || get || (0.5)9 || > || 5 || = || 4.5 || > || 5, || which || is || not || true. || Thus || the || benefit || does || not || outweigh || the || cost || and || the || behavior || is || not || favored.
