The timing of when to gain sexual maturity and begin breeding is a trick Show more Stumped on this question The timing of when to gain sexual maturity and begin breeding is a tricky one.
Imagine a bird species that ordinarily gained sexual maturity in its second year bred successfully in years 2 3 and 4 and died at the end of the fourth year. Now imagine there was a simple mutation that allowed the birds to gain sexual maturity during their first year. Describe two situations: (1) under what conditions would this be an advantageous trait to have (i.e. what else would have to happen) and (2) under what conditions would this be a disadvantageous trait to have? Think about average reproductive success at each age and how that might vary depending on when you begin reproducing. Show less
