Mating Systems of Pinnipeds Worksheet

I use this worksheet after discussing the different factors that can affect the mating system of populations.

This assignment helps reinforce previously taught material from sexual selection (sexual dimorphism, operational sex ratio), as it requires the students to apply that knowledge to mating systems.

The goal of this assignment is for students to gain knowledge about the many characteristics of populations and individuals that can affect mating systems and get a sense that mating systems are not fixed.

Accompanying slides are available in the Animal Behavior Shared Class Resources Folder (for verified CUNY instructors).

Before Class Discussion Board Prompts

This is a series of discussion board prompts that I use throughout the semester to encourage in-class discussion of the upcoming class material. These are low-stakes assignments that are graded as complete/incomplete.
