    Strategy and tactics are NOT the same 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Strategy and tactics are not the same because strategy refers to the overall plan or approach to achieve a specific goal, while tactics are the specific actions or maneuvers used to implement the strategy. Strategy focuses on long-term planning and decision-making, while tactics are more short-term and focused on the execution of the plan. Understanding the difference between strategy and tactics is important in order to effectively plan and implement actions to achieve desired outcomes.

    Progressivism Fallacy: The belief that traits are adaptive and are necessarily heading towards improvements or perfection

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the progressivism fallacy refers to the mistaken belief that traits are always adaptive and will inevitably lead to improvements or perfection. This belief ignores the fact that traits can also be maladaptive or have negative consequences. It is important to recognize that not all traits are advantageous or lead to progress, and that evolution does not always result in perfection.

    Competition can precede or follow mating

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Competition can occur both before and after mating. Before mating, individuals may compete for access to mates, such as engaging in territorial disputes or displaying elaborate courtship behaviors. After mating, there can be competition among individuals to ensure their genes are successfully passed on. This can involve competition for resources, such as food or nesting sites, or competition to protect offspring from other potential mates. Therefore, it is true that competition can precede or follow mating.

    Bruce effect: Pheromonal abortion of female mice by arrival of strange males

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Bruce effect refers to the phenomenon where female mice can undergo pheromonal abortion upon the arrival of unfamiliar males. This means that if a female mouse detects the scent of a new male in her environment, she may terminate her current pregnancy to prevent the male from potentially harming or killing her offspring. This behavior is believed to be an adaptive strategy to increase the chances of reproductive success by ensuring that the offspring are fathered by a male that is familiar and potentially more likely to provide care and protection.

    Epigametic sexual characteristics: Males have important secondary sexual characteristics to influence female choice. These are used to show off and impress the female. ex: Horns/antlers 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Males in many species have developed epigametic sexual characteristics, such as horns or antlers, to attract and impress females. These characteristics serve as a display of strength, health, and genetic quality, influencing female choice in selecting a mate. By showcasing these secondary sexual characteristics, males increase their chances of successful reproduction. Therefore, the statement "Epigametic sexual characteristics: Males have important secondary sexual characteristics to influence female choice" is true.

    Difference between play and real aggression? Frequency/intensity of play, play markers (Play bow in canids) and role reversal/self handicap 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because there are clear differences between play aggression and real aggression. In play aggression, the frequency and intensity of the behavior are usually lower compared to real aggression. Additionally, animals often display play markers, such as play bows in canids, to indicate that their behavior is playful rather than aggressive. Another distinguishing factor is role reversal or self handicap, where animals may intentionally put themselves at a disadvantage during play to maintain a playful atmosphere. These factors help differentiate between playful interactions and genuine aggressive behavior.

    Social role theory is dependent on polyethism - I.E: The division of labour amongst the group (Bernstein)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Social role theory is a perspective in sociology that suggests that individuals in a society have different roles and responsibilities based on their social position. Polyethism refers to the division of labor within a group, where different individuals have specialized tasks or roles. The given statement suggests that social role theory is dependent on polyethism, meaning that the theory acknowledges and recognizes the importance of the division of labor in shaping social roles within a group or society. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

    Agonism refers to the continuum of (aggression and submission) behaviours 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Agonism refers to a range of behaviors that encompass both aggression and submission. This means that within the concept of agonism, there is a spectrum of actions that can be considered aggressive or submissive. Therefore, the statement that agonism refers to the continuum of aggression and submission behaviors is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Predatory behaviour is NOT labelled as aggressive

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Predatory behavior is not labeled as aggressive because it is a natural behavior exhibited by animals to hunt and obtain food. While it may involve chasing, capturing, and killing prey, it is not driven by hostility or anger. Aggression, on the other hand, involves hostile or violent behavior towards others, often motivated by the need to establish dominance, defend territory, or protect resources. Therefore, predatory behavior and aggression are distinct concepts.

    War of attrition: The distribution of contest length is related to the value of the object of the conflict 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "War of attrition: The distribution of contest length is related to the value of the object of the conflict" is true. In a war of attrition, the length of the conflict is influenced by the perceived value of the object being fought over. If the object is highly valuable, both sides are likely to continue fighting for a longer period of time, as they believe the potential rewards outweigh the costs. On the other hand, if the object is of low value, the conflict may be resolved more quickly as the parties involved are less motivated to continue fighting.

    Rate this question:

    A dominance hierarchy is a system allowing the prediction of future outcomes of interactions by establishing ranks between individuals

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because a dominance hierarchy is indeed a system that establishes ranks between individuals, allowing for the prediction of future outcomes of interactions. In a dominance hierarchy, individuals are ranked based on their ability to dominate others and assert control over resources. This ranking helps to determine the outcome of conflicts and interactions, as individuals higher in the hierarchy tend to have priority access to resources and are more likely to succeed in conflicts against lower-ranked individuals. Therefore, the statement accurately describes the purpose and function of a dominance hierarchy.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    A coalition can reverse the directionality of the hierarchy, I.e two subordinates can combine. Common in primates

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A coalition refers to the cooperation or alliance between two or more individuals to achieve a common goal. In the context of hierarchies, a coalition can occur when two subordinates join forces and work together to challenge or oppose a higher-ranking individual. This can result in a reversal of the traditional hierarchical structure, where the subordinates gain more power and influence. This phenomenon is commonly observed in primates, where individuals form coalitions to increase their chances of success in conflicts or to establish dominance within the group. Therefore, the statement "A coalition can reverse the directionality of the hierarchy" is true.

    Low ranking rhesus monkeys that have their hypothalamus stimulated become dominant 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When the hypothalamus of low-ranking rhesus monkeys is stimulated, they become dominant. This suggests that the hypothalamus plays a crucial role in determining social dominance in these monkeys. The stimulation of the hypothalamus likely triggers a cascade of physiological and behavioral changes that enable the low-ranking monkeys to assert dominance over others. This finding highlights the complex interplay between brain regions and social behavior in primates.

    Frontal lobe lesions in monkeys inhibit normal social inhibition 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Frontal lobe lesions in monkeys inhibit normal social inhibition, meaning that when the frontal lobe is damaged, the monkeys are unable to control or suppress their social behaviors as they normally would. This suggests that the frontal lobe plays a crucial role in regulating social behavior and inhibiting inappropriate or impulsive actions.

  • 26. 

    Increase in aggression during seasonal changes, puberty and males are more aggressive 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During seasonal changes, such as the mating season, animals may exhibit increased aggression as they compete for resources or mates. Similarly, during puberty, hormonal changes can lead to increased aggression in both humans and animals. Additionally, studies have shown that males tend to be more aggressive than females, which could be attributed to biological and social factors. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that there is an increase in aggression during seasonal changes, puberty, and that males are generally more aggressive.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    In the Landau index of linearity, it is the number of times an individual supplants or overthrows others that counts, NOT the number of wins 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Landau index of linearity focuses on the number of times an individual supplants or overthrows others, rather than the number of wins. This means that even if someone has a high number of wins, if they have not successfully overthrown or supplant others, their Landau index of linearity will be low. Therefore, the statement "it is the number of times an individual supplants or overthrows others that counts, NOT the number of wins" is true.

    A Supernormal Stimuli is the ability of a stimulus to evoke a stronger response than normal 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A supernormal stimulus refers to a stimulus that elicits a stronger response compared to a normal stimulus. This means that when exposed to a supernormal stimulus, an organism will exhibit a heightened or exaggerated response. This can occur in various contexts, such as in the animal kingdom where certain exaggerated features or behaviors can elicit stronger responses from potential mates or predators. Additionally, supernormal stimuli can also be observed in human behavior, such as when individuals are exposed to highly stimulating or addictive activities that surpass the normal level of response. Therefore, the statement "A Supernormal Stimuli is the ability of a stimulus to evoke a stronger response than normal" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Parental investment may result in a conflict of interest

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Parental investment refers to the resources and effort that parents invest in raising their offspring. This investment can include time, energy, and resources such as food and protection. A conflict of interest may arise because parents have limited resources and must allocate them between current and future offspring. This conflict arises because each parent wants to maximize their own reproductive success, but investing more in one offspring may come at the expense of investing in others. Therefore, it is true that parental investment may result in a conflict of interest.

    Which of the following demonstrated the tamping and scooping technique of food chaching?

    • Red Foxes

    • Western Wolves

    • Eastern Squirrels

    • Coyotes

    • African Wild Dogs

    • Hyenas

    Correct Answer
    A. Red Foxes
    Explanation
    Red Foxes demonstrate the tamping and scooping technique of food caching. This technique involves using their front paws to tamp or press down on the ground to create a shallow hole, and then using their snouts to scoop and bury their prey, such as small mammals or birds, in the hole. This behavior helps them hide and store food for later consumption, especially during times of scarcity or when they have excess food.

    Which of the following is NOT a prerequisite for natural selection to occur

    • Variation

    • Fitness consequences

    • Existence of enough species

    • Mode of Inheritance

    • Limited Resources

    Correct Answer
    A. Existence of enough species
    Explanation
    Natural selection is a process that occurs within a single species, where individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to future generations. The existence of enough species is not a prerequisite for natural selection because it operates within a single species, not between different species. The other options, such as variation, fitness consequences, mode of inheritance, and limited resources, are all necessary factors for natural selection to occur within a species.

  • 35. 

    Sexual dimorphism occurs when the males and females do not look alike. This effect is stronger in NON-MONOGAMOUS species. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Sexual dimorphism refers to the physical differences between males and females of a species. In non-monogamous species, where individuals have multiple mating partners, sexual dimorphism tends to be more pronounced. This is because males often compete for mates, leading to the evolution of exaggerated traits such as larger body size, brighter colors, or elaborate ornaments. In contrast, in monogamous species, where individuals have only one mate, sexual dimorphism is often less pronounced as there is less competition for mates. Therefore, the statement that sexual dimorphism is stronger in non-monogamous species is true.

    • Hamilton-Zuk Principle

    Correct Answer
    A. Sensory Bias
    Explanation
    Sensory bias refers to the preference for certain traits in a mate based on the intensity of sensory stimulation. In this context, it suggests that females are driven to choose mates based on the sensory experience they provide. This explanation implies that females are more likely to select mates who stimulate their senses in a desirable way, indicating that sensory predisposition plays a role in mate choice.

    Pied Flycatcher: Females choose males based on the QUALITY OF THE TERRITORY

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Female pied flycatchers choose males based on the quality of the territory. This means that females are more likely to select males who have established territories with abundant resources and suitable nesting sites. By choosing males with high-quality territories, females increase their chances of successful reproduction and the survival of their offspring. This behavior is commonly observed in many bird species, where females assess the quality of potential mates based on their ability to provide resources and protect the nest.

    50% of a father genes are in the offspring, so therefore it has more reason to care

    • Gamete order hypothesis

    • Symbiosis Theory

    • Association of proximity hypothesis 

    • Certainty of paternity hypothesis 

    Correct Answer
    A. Certainty of paternity hypothesis 
    Explanation
    The certainty of paternity hypothesis suggests that fathers have a greater reason to care for their offspring because they can be more certain that the offspring carry their own genes. This hypothesis is based on the understanding that fathers have a higher confidence in their genetic relatedness to their offspring compared to mothers, who are always certain of their genetic contribution. Therefore, fathers are more likely to invest in caring for their offspring to ensure the survival and success of their own genes.

    Monogamy can be best described as: A preference for a specific mate 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Monogamy refers to the practice of having only one partner or mate at a time. This means that individuals who prefer a specific mate and choose to be in a committed relationship with that person are practicing monogamy. Therefore, the statement "Monogamy can be best described as a preference for a specific mate" is true.

    The only canid that demonstrates clan behaviour is 

    • African wild dog

    • Dholes

    • Bush dog

    • Vulpes

    Correct Answer
    A. Dholes
    Explanation
    Dholes, also known as Asian wild dogs, are the only canids that demonstrate clan behavior. They live in packs or clans that consist of a dominant breeding pair and their offspring. These packs work together to hunt, defend territory, and raise their young. This social structure is unique among canids, as most other species, including African wild dogs, bush dogs, and Vulpes foxes, have different social systems such as packs, pairs, or solitary individuals. Therefore, Dholes are the correct answer for the only canid species that exhibits clan behavior.

    Which of the following demonstrates monogamy

    • Callitrichids (Marmosets and tamarins) 

    • Wolves

    • Elephants 

    • Rats

    Correct Answer
    A. Callitrichids (Marmosets and tamarins) 
    Explanation
    Callitrichids, which include marmosets and tamarins, demonstrate monogamy. Monogamy refers to the practice of forming a long-term pair bond with a single partner. In the case of Callitrichids, they typically form monogamous breeding pairs and both parents actively participate in raising their offspring. This behavior is in contrast to wolves, elephants, and rats, which do not typically exhibit monogamy.

    The equation to study social behaviour can be described as n(n-1)/2 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The equation n(n-1)/2 is commonly used to calculate the number of possible interactions or connections between n individuals in a social group. Each individual can potentially interact with every other individual except themselves, resulting in n-1 possible interactions for each individual. By summing up these interactions for all individuals, we get the total number of interactions, which is n(n-1)/2. Therefore, the statement "The equation to study social behaviour can be described as n(n-1)/2" is true.

    Play and Aggression are inverted

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Play and aggression are often seen as two opposite behaviors in animals. Play is typically characterized by non-threatening, voluntary, and enjoyable activities, while aggression involves hostile, forceful, and potentially harmful actions. In this context, the statement "Play and Aggression are inverted" means that the presence of play behavior tends to reduce the occurrence of aggressive behavior. This is supported by research showing that engaging in play can serve as a social bonding mechanism, promote empathy, and provide an outlet for pent-up energy or frustration, thus reducing the likelihood of aggressive interactions.

    General theory (Spinka) States that we gain experience with UNEXPECTED EVENTS with loss of control

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the general theory proposed by Spinka, it is believed that we acquire experience through unexpected events where we lose control. This suggests that when we encounter situations that are unexpected and beyond our control, we are more likely to learn and gain experience from them. Therefore, the statement "True" indicates that the theory suggests that experience is gained through unexpected events with loss of control.

    In socially sophisticated species, most aggressive behaviours are determined by rank 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In socially sophisticated species, such as primates or wolves, aggressive behaviors are often influenced by rank or social hierarchy. This means that individuals higher in the social hierarchy are more likely to display aggressive behaviors towards those lower in rank. This can be observed in various social interactions, such as competition for resources or establishing dominance. By understanding the dynamics of rank and aggression, researchers can gain insights into the complex social structures of these species.
