Given below are some behaviors strategies.

A) Fixed action pattern, complex sequence of behavior, Once released and continuous to completion, even when there is change in surrounding environment

B)  natural selection select that territorial behavior that is benefit is greater than cost 

C) Imprinting, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience

D) Donor benefits at a cost to the recipient, the behavior is altruistic; when the recipient benefits at a cost to the donor, the behavior is selfish.

Which factors (limited space or overcrowding; limited food; Predators; parasite and diseased) tend to act in a density-dependent manner; Tony Sinclair (1989) many studies of density dependence in 51 populations of insects, 82 populations of large mammals, and 36 populations of small mammals and birds. Which of the following observation is most likely true?

a) Insects showed a wide variety of causes of density dependence and no one density-dependent factor was of overriding importance

b) The lesser the amount of available food, the greater the mortality of large mammals

c) Space and social interactions were more important for smaller mammals and birds, because they are more territorial

b) Semelparous organisms may live for many years before reproducing

c) semelparity occur only in plant

Which of the following statements about the evolution of life histories is correct?

A) Unstable environments with unlimited resources favor r-selected populations.

B) K-selected populations are most often found in environments where density-independent factors are important regulators of population size.

C) Most populations have both r- and K-selected characteristics that vary under different environmental conditions.
