概括
平凡的中尉表现出明显的男性生殖策略. 较老,较大的男性守护者和较年轻,较小的运动鞋男性遵循固定的生命历史路径,在发育早期分离.
科学领域:
- * 进化生物学 进化生物学
- * 动物的行为
- * 生命历史理论理论
背景情况:
- *平的中尉 (Porichthys notatus) 显示了两个男性生殖策略:"守护者"和"运动员".
- *这些策略在性成熟时是不同的,但尚不清楚它们是否代表固定或塑性生命史策略.
研究的目的:
- * 为了确定平中尉的男性生殖策略在整个生命周期中是固定的还是塑料的.
- * 为了研究护卫者和运动鞋男性之间的发育轨迹和与年龄相关的差异.
主要方法:
- * 371名成年平海军中尉的年龄确定,使用形耳岩上的破碎和燃烧方法.
- *使用双因素·贝塔兰菲生长函数 (VBGFs) 分析生长轨迹.
- * 护士男性,运动鞋男性和女性之间的身体尺寸和年龄的比较.
主要成果:
- * 卫兵男性明显年长 (平均7.0岁),比运动鞋男性 (平均3.4岁) 和女性 (平均5.1岁) 更大.
- *虽然年龄和体型在早期重叠,但守护者男性在3岁后变得持续更大.
- *在男性和女性之间,以及在守护者和运动鞋男性之间观察到不同的生长轨迹,运动鞋最初表现出更快的增长.
结论:
- *这些发现支持这样一个假设,即平中尉的两个男性生殖策略代表着不同的,固定的生命历史路径.
- *这些不同的途径在发育早期就已建立,影响成年人的体型和年龄结构.

Mate Choice
11.5K
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.

Fixed Action Patterns
17.4K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences
465
The principle of natural selection posits that organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
3.9K
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...

Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD
3.2K
A complete procedure of testing the hypothesis about a population mean is explained here.
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...
