概括
雌性雪表现出一致的卵子大小,但没有交配行为. 早期的繁殖与多性和较小的卵子有关,这表明两性体内发生性子体大小变化的适应潜力有限.
科学领域:
- 进化生物学是进化的生物学.
- 行为生态学 行为生态学
- 生殖策略 生殖策略
背景情况:
- 配体尺寸变态是性别角色的关键,但性别内变异与性别角色的联系尚不清楚.
- 理论模型表明多合一性和早期繁殖可能与减少卵子大小相关.
研究的目的:

- 确定雌性体内雌性体大小的变化是否与它们的交配策略和繁殖时间有关.
主要方法:
- 在15年内分析了424只野生雌性雪的生殖历史.
- 对于个体雌性,评估了卵子大小和多态性的重复性.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
3.5K
A complete procedure of testing a hypothesis about a population mean when the population standard deviation is unknown is explained here.
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used;...

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
3.3K
A complete procedure for testing a claim about a population proportion is provided here.
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...

Mate Choice
8.1K
Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

Types of Selection
40.6K
Natural selection influences the frequencies of particular alleles and phenotypes within populations in several different ways. Primarily, natural selection can be directional, stabilizing, or disruptive. Directional selection favors one extreme trait and shifts the population towards that phenotype while selecting against individuals displaying alternate traits. Stabilizing selection favors an intermediate trait with a narrow range of variation. Deviation from the optimal phenotype towards an...

Formation of Species
39.4K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

Conservation of Declining Populations

Conservation of declining population focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and halting a population decline. The approach uses methods to prevent populations from going extinct.
