Coevolution

Question 0

Sexual conflict arises when:

Answer 0

The different optima cannot simultaneously be realised

Question 1

Convolution arises when …

Answer 1

Sexes maximise their reproductive success in mutually incompatible ways

Question 2

Conflict occurs over traits that are encoded by the same loci in sexes eg body size

Answer 2

Intralocus

Question 3

Traits encoded by different loci so genes are sex limited in expression

Answer 3

Interlocus

Question 4

Inter and intra locus can be intensified by:

Answer 4

Low relatedness between partners

Current v future reproductive investment

Question 5

Sexual conflict leads to …

Answer 5

Sexually antagonistic convolution .. Like red queen hypothesis but between the sexes

Question 6

Coevolution not automatic outcome, other alternatives are:

Answer 6

Sexually antagonistic coevolution
Phenotypic convergence via homologous genes
Occurs in part to simple underlying genetics

Question 7

Change in 1 species has indirect effect on another species =

Answer 7

Interacting genomes

Question 8

Response is

Answer 8

Inherited

Question 9

Inter specific interactions:

Answer 9

Predator prey +/-
Competition -/-
Mutualism +/+
Neutralism 0/0
Commensalism +/0
Amensalism -/0

Question 10

Character traits differ more in

Answer 10

Sympatric regions

Question 11

Niche overlap results in character displacement

Answer 11

Natural selection drives to extreme to eliminate overlap of niches

Question 12

Species can coexist if

Answer 12

Adaptations reduce competition

Question 13

Coevolution ends if

Answer 13

1 species outcompetes and drives the other to extinction

Question 14

Parallel evolution between taxa =

Answer 14

Adaptations and counter adaptations

Question 15

Coevolution can be

Answer 15

complex

Question 16

Natural selection operates within each of the interaction species, given that

Answer 16

Each species constitutes part of he environment of the other species
