multiparous correct answers a woman who has given birth two or more times
parent-offspring conflict correct answers the difference between a mother's genetic
relatedness to each of her offspring, on one hand, and an offspring's genetic relatedness to

- created by Robert Trivers
weaning conflict correct answers when to stop giving offspring resources; the sooner her
offspring find food on its own, the sooner a mother will stop lactating and resume ovulating
they should try to increase the probability that the dispersing offspring with survive and
reproduce correct answers mothers might be expected to wean offspring of the dispersing sex
later than philopatric sex because______
juvenile correct answers young person, longest period for a primates for their body size
bimaturism correct answers sex-specific growth periods; may also refer to different
developmental pathways that members of the same species follow
more correct answers young females are _____ likely to be the largest of aggression than
young males
reproductive life spans correct answers the interval between puberty and death, during which
individuals can reproduce
income breeders correct answers A life-history trait, in which individuals convert available
resources into immediate reproductive effort
- most lemurs
capital breeders correct answers a life history trait, where individuals store resources for
future reproductive effort
- female sifakas
phylogeny, demography and ecology correct answers Life history traits are liked to ______
signal, motivation, meaning and functions correct answers Four components of
communication
signal correct answers the form that the act of communication takes. It may involve
vocalizations, facial expressions, body postures, doors, tastes or touch
, motivation correct answers the internal state of the actor who is sending the signal. It includes
fear, aggression, sexual interest, appeasement, alarm and excitement. They may not be
conscious.
meaning correct answers Refers to the message that is received by the recipient of the signal.
It may be received differently than the same signal given by another individual or by the
original individual in a different context.
tactile, visual, olfactory and gustatory and vocal correct answers The main modes of
communication.
the different levels of proximity and familiarity each mode requires correct answers Mode of
communication depends on
pheromones correct answers Chemical signals released by an animal that communicate
information and affect the behavior of other animals of the same species. They are best
known for the information they transmit about female reproductive conditions
Urine washing correct answers A ritual practiced by many primates involving coating hands
and feet with urine then rubbing the soaked appendages on vegetation to alert males that
females are near.
morning correct answers long distance callers vocalize most in the ______ when the calls are
more likely to be heard because the temperature and humidity are the lowest
cross-fostering correct answers research method that studies offspring who were adopted and
reared completely apart from their biological parents, where the adoptive parent has a
particular disorder but the biological parent does not, thereby introducing the influence of
being raised by disordered parents
referential calls correct answers vocalizations that have specific referents, such as particular
predators
teaching correct answers imparting knowledge through deliberate instruction
imitation correct answers short cut to learning, but requires an ability to understand a cause-
effect relationship without actually experiencing it
play correct answers an exception to the pattern on non imitation. It provides stimulus of
social facilitation and leads to cooperation
spatial memory correct answers memory for the physical environment; it includes things such
as location of objects, direction, and cognitive maps
tool set correct answers two or more types of tools used sequentially to achieve a goal
tool composites correct answers two or more tools having different functions that are used
sequentially and in association to achieve a single goal
