Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The evolutionary psychology perspective suggests that behaviors and traits are shaped by natural selection to increase reproductive success. In species where males invest heavily in offspring, such as seahorses, males are likely to be more selective in mating and less interested in having multiple partners, as their investment in each offspring is significant. This contrasts with species where males invest less and can increase their reproductive success by mating with multiple females.
