You are a researcher interested in a group of related bird species. all of these birds are fairly similar in their ecological niche, food requirements, and habitat preferences. but they vary in their mating practices. one species is polygynous and another is polyandrous with the third species being monogamous. in which species would you expect that males would produce the largest volume of sperm? the monogamous species the polygynous species the polyandrous species none of the above: all three would produce similar amounts of sperm

While studying related bird species with similar ecological niche, food requirements, and habitat preferences but different mating practices following observation are made:  

It can be concluded that the male from the polygynous species produce the largest volume of sperm.

Further Explanation:

In polygonous species, only single male is present and many females are present in this group. In this, one male mates with many females. Thus, in this group male produce many sperm to mate with every female in the group.

In polyandrous species, only single female is present in the group and there are many males are present in this group. Many females mate with only one male. Thus, less volume of sperm is produce because only one individual is responsible for producing sperm. In monogamous species, equal number of female and males mate with each other. So, the level of production of sperm is normal.
