This resource turns mating systems and parental care into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 biology, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.

Sample questions include "How does polygynous mating influence male parental care?", "Which factor is most likely to promote cooperative breeding?", and "What is a potential cost of parental care in cooperative breeding?"
