Choose a species that exhibits interesting social and/or reproductive behavior. List at least 2 of these behaviors. Explain the evolutionary advantage to exhibiting these behaviors.
Choose 2 species – one r-selected species and one k-selected. Compare their specific life histories. Include the adaptations of each that influence aspects of its biology such as the number of offspring it produces, its survival, and its size and age at reproductive maturity.
Why is a global perspective on ecology even more relevant now and will continue to be so in the future, as compared to the past? List and describe three specific challenges that will be best addressed using a global perspective. You may want to use one of these challenges in your research paper.
