Can someone who is good with primates help me answer these questions?
1.
Male primates commit infanticide in one-male, multifemale groups because
| they want to limit the number of males in their group. |
| females without nursing infants resume sexual receptivity. |
| females do not want infants sired by a nonalpha male. |
| it enhances male attractiveness to females. |
2.
Which of the following statements is true?
| Patterns of courtship, mate choice, and parental care vary greatly within the primate order. |
| The reproductive strategies of living primates are not influenced by their phylogenetic heritage as mammals. |
| Studies of primate reproductive behavior cannot help us understand how evolutionary forces shaped the reproductive strategies of our hominin ancestors. |
| The same factors limit male and female reproductive success. |
3.
In primates, females usually provide far more parental investment than males. Why?
| Primates require a great deal of parental investment, and females are genetically better at providing parental investment. |
| Sexual selection is unable to operate on female mammals. |
| Primate males have other responsibilities, including defending territories, so females must always provide most parental investment. |
| Primates are mammals, and in mammals, females lactate and males do not. |
Ans) Male primates commit infanticide because FEMALE WITHOUT NURSING RESUME SEXUAL RECEPTIVITY and hence this might increase chances if reproduction again with the male.
Ans) True statement is
PATTERN OF COURTSHIP,MATE CHOICE AND PARENTAL CARE VARY GREATLY WITHIN THE PRIMATE ORDER.
Ans) PRIMATE GENERALLY REQUIRE A GRET DEAL OF PARENTAL INVESTMENT AND FEMALES ARE GENETICALLY BETTER AT PROVIDING IT.
