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.
What is often true of a population of organisms with a type Il suvivorship curve? they produce few offspirng and invest more energy in each offspring they produce more offspring and invest little energy in each they have low death rates during early life stages they are equally likely to die at any age
Iti do a cohort study on some new cute animal, and I discover that most of the individuals die at a relatively young age, and only a few live close to the maximum age for the species, what would you predict about the reproductive strategy of this species? O They probably produce relatively few offspring and invest a lot of parental care into each offspring. O They probably produce a lot of offspring, and invest a lot of parental care into each one. O They probably produce a lot of offspring but do not invest much parental care in any individual offspring O They probably produce offspring only after individuals manage to live to close to their maximum age

Is the following case study an r-strategists or a K-strategists? Andean condors reach sexual maturity at five to six years. Reproduction is slow; females lay only one or two eggs every other year. Offspring are cared for by both parents for at least one year. Andean condors are long-lived and can survive for seventy to seventy-five years.
In a habitat there are 7,500 individuals of P. rufipes, 40% of which have long and thin ovipositors and 60% have short and thick ovipositors. During a single year 250 wasps with long and thin ovipositors died while 325 were born. In that same year, 650 wasps with short, thick ovipositors were born and 800 died. Calculate the per capita growth rate (r) of the two subpopulations of P. rufipes. Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with long and thin ovipositors: _________ Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with short and thin ovipositors: _________
There 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 provided
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
Which of the following set of characteristics would best described a K-selected species (e.g. an elephant)? early reproduction with many, small offspring and short-lived early reproduction with few, large offspring and short-lived late reproduction with few, large offspring and long-lived O late reproduction with many, small offspring and long-lived
The following equation is used to calculate the population growth rate, Ro, per generation from a life table. Iy is survival probability from birth to age x and my is fecundity at age x. Ro = Elkm Multiplying ly and my and summing it over all age categories in the life table gives the population growth rate per generation because: Calculating the reproductive output for each age class requires considering the survival probability to that age (a dead individual does not reproduce) and the fecundity at that age by multiplying them with each other. Summing over reproductive output for all age classes gives the total per capita growth rate of the population The fecundity at each age is lower when the survival is higher because of energy constraints. Multiplying probability of survival and fecundity in each age class takes this trade-off into account. Summing over reproductive output for all age classes gives the total per capita growth rate of the population The resulting type of growth…
