The demographic transition model depicts demographic changes from high- to low-level births and deaths in five stages

Stage 1 is characterized by total population numbers are low and the high birth rate is balanced by the high death rate.

B) Stage 2 is characterized by high population growth rate is results of high birth rate however, decline death rate

C) Stage 4 is characterized by decline in the proportion of the population in the reproductive age group and these changes stabilizes population size

D) Stage 3 is characterized by falling birth rates and death rates and population growth rate is zero due to the less numbers of people in the reproductive age group

In some jacana species, males take care of the eggs and young, and females compete among themselves for territories that contain one to several males. Female jacanas are significantly larger than males. Which of these statements would you predict to be true of this bird species?

a. Male jacana fitness is primarily limited by ability to take care of eggs and raise young.

b. Female jacana fitness is limited by the number of males in her territory with which a female mates.

c. Variation in reproductive success should be greater in male jacanas than in females.

d. Variation in reproductive success should be greater in female jacanas than in males.

e. Males and females have equal variation in reproductive success.

Sexual dimorphism (SD) is a pattern that is seen throughout the animal kingdom and differences between the sexes in coloration are common in many organisms. Following some statement are given
