Suppose you are studying a species of primate. Female primates generally live in 5-km2 home ranges that overlap very little with neighboring home range territories. The primates can travel up to 5 km in one day and both males and females care for young. Which type of breeding system is most likely under these circumstances?
Select one:
a. Monogamy
b. Polyandry
c. Polygyny
d. Promiscuity
2.
In a case where critical resources are distributed evenly in space and males provide about half of the total parental care, the mating system is most likely to be
Select one:
a. polyandry.
b. promiscuity.
c. polygyny.
d. monogamy.
Both questions form fomr the same concepts. I'm mostly confused with the promiscuity aspects such as the caring for the offspring.
I hope this can be sorted out somehow.
