Usually this would not cause a problem. However, like people, birds are individuals, and it always possible that jealousy from a non-mating bird could interfere with the breeding bird's cycle.
No, otters do not engage in non-consensual mating with seals.
No, otters do not engage in non-consensual mating with baby seals.
No, sea otters do not engage in non-consensual mating with baby seals.
Yes, mating within a population is random. However, it is possible for non random mating to occur within a population.
Non-random mating refers to a situation in which individuals in a population choose mates based on specific traits or characteristics rather than randomly. This can lead to assortative mating, where individuals mate with similar phenotypes, or disassortative mating, where they choose partners with different traits. Non-random mating can influence genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics within a population. It often results in changes in allele frequencies over time, impacting the population's overall genetic structure.
Yes, otters have been observed engaging in non-consensual mating behavior, which is also known as sexual coercion. This behavior can occur in various species of otters.
Competitors for mating are typically biotic, as they involve living organisms competing for resources such as mates. Abiotic factors, on the other hand, are non-living components of an ecosystem that can influence competition and mating in indirect ways.
Non random mating
Non-random Mating
Otters do not typically exhibit aggressive mating behavior towards other animals. They are known for their playful and social nature, and mating behavior among otters is usually non-aggressive.
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
Yes, sea otters have been observed engaging in non-consensual mating behavior, which is also known as sexual coercion. This behavior can involve aggressive or forceful actions by one otter towards another without their consent.
