Question

In order to attract females, the male Bowerbird of Australia constructs elaborate structures called "bowers" on the forest floor. His bower is made from twigs, leaves, and moss, and is decorated with colorful ornaments such as feathers, pebbles, berries, and shells. If a female is sufficiently impressed with a bower, she will mate with the male who built it. This is an example of which of the five evolutionary forces

Answer 1

non-random mating

Step-by-step explanation:

The five different forces that influence species evolution are 1-non-random mating, 2-mutation, 3-gene flow, 4-genetic drift, and 5-natural selection. Non-random mating refers to phenotypic/behavioral differences that lead to preferential mating among individuals in a population (sexual selection). Mating behavior is a type of non-random mating pattern that includes mate choice (sexual selection) and increases reproductive fitness by increasing the chances of producing descendants ​(offspring).
