Sometimes the timing of mating is a temporal factor that prevents gametic exchange. Sexually reproducing organisms must be able to exchange gametes to breed successfully, a prezygotic barrier to overcome. Three examples of reproductive barriers include the abilities to find a mate, form a zygote, and produce fertile offspring. Reproductive barriers are isolating barriers that prevent gene flow in geographically overlapping, or, sympatric populations. Which factor is likeliest to affect female mate choice in the penduline tit? The probability that a male abandons a nest is not related to nest size. Larger nests can accommodate a greater number of young. Males build nests that differ in size, and they sing to attract females.
The birds are named for the hanging nests they build. Both sexes are sequentially polygamous, meaning that a single parent stays with a nest to incubate and raise the young. Both sexes have similar coloration, including a black mask around the eyes, though males have larger masks than females. The penduline tit, Remiz pendulinus, is a small passerine bird. Which factor is likeliest to affect female mate choice in the wild turkey? Once mated, females build secret nests in dense vegetation in which to lay and hatch their eggs. During the breeding season, gobblers perform an elaborate dance around hens to entice them to mate. Gobblers that have a smaller parasite load have a larger snood and larger skullcap. Gobblers have exaggerated characteristics that set them apart from the females, including a waddle, snood, and large tail. The wild turkey, Meleagris gallopavo, forms winter flocks made of family groups of either female hens and young poults or male gobblers.

It takes them about two weeks to grow to full size, and they then return to a body of water to mate. Once they reach a minimum size, they crawl onto land to morph into their adult forms. When the eggs hatch, nymphs live and grow in the water for months or years. Females release fertilized eggs by dipping their abdomens in the water. Males establish and defend territories over pools of water. The males have a characteristic white powder that covers a pale blue abdomen, and adult females have a brown abdomen with white hatch marks. The common whitetail dragonfly, Libellula lydia, is frequent throughout North America.
