  Chapter 7 The usage of pseudo-female

   At this time, Zhao Meng also discovered the benefits of the snipe,

  Then it will not be driven away when passing through the territory of various male tassel sandpipers, and can wander around unimpeded,

  The only bad thing is,

  Those male fringed sandpipers kept harassing him,

  Especially those fringed sandpipers wandering around the territory, whenever they get the chance, they will jump on him, which makes him tireless.

  Faced with this situation, Zhao Meng also had to find a relatively secluded place to observe the behavior of these tassel sandpipers.

   After observing for a while,

  He found a female fringed sandpiper just like him,

  Although the appearance of the female tassel sandpiper and the female tassel sandpiper are very similar, there are still some differences under careful observation.

  That is, as males, they are slightly larger than some females.

  By observing these pseudo-mothers, Zhao Meng really saw the strategy of the imitation female tassel sandpiper.

  They first pretended to be females, let the males do what they wanted, and then took advantage of the males to drive away other males in the territory, and extended their claws to the females aside.

   "It turned out to be solved in this way!" Zhao Meng said that he had learned it.

   can be used as a normal human being,

  This kind of behavior that impacted his three views still made him hesitate.

  If it is said that the blue-spotted sea hare has hit his physiological limit,

  Then the quasi-female tassel hit his moral limit.

   "It's a simulation!"

   "It's just a simulation."

   "Perhaps, some behaviors that match the behavior of the female tassel can improve the score!"

  After Zhao Meng hinted to himself a few words, he was ready to act.

  …

   "In the seventh week, you followed the nature of the female tassel to start breeding, you were discovered, you were expelled,

  伱Consciously acting too hastily, you regroup and wait for the opportunity! "

   "In the eighth week, you successfully sneaked into the male's territory. Driven by the instinct of the female tassel, you succeeded!"

   "On the first day of the eighth week, you start to copy the successful experience!"

   "Day 2 of week eight, you get carried away, get caught by a predator, simulation failed!"

  …

   "Hiss!"

   Zhao Meng patted his head in frustration,

   "Why are you so careless!"

   At this time, he has come out of the simulation, looking at the familiar scene around him, he took a long breath,

   "Still negligent!"

  After several simulations, Zhao Meng is very clear that in nature, animals in the middle of the food chain are often the most dangerous existences.

  Any negligence will lead to danger.

   Zhao Meng took a short rest and decided to continue the simulation.

   "I don't know what kind of entries will be rewarded for successful simulation?" Thinking of this, Zhao Meng had some expectations in his heart.

   He entered the simulation again, and the familiar voice appeared,

   "The first week, you hatch from the eggshell and you become an independent male fringed sandpiper!"

   "Independent fringed sandpiper!"

   Hearing such a voice, he was a little surprised,

  He originally thought that he would become a female fringed sandpiper,

   But now, when he heard this voice, he found that he was completely wrong.

   "This opening..."

  Thinking of what the quasi-female tassels did in the last simulation,

  At that moment, Zhao Meng had an idea of ​​reopening,

  But after stabilizing his mood, he gave up the idea and decided to continue the simulation.

   "Fortunately, the last simulation was a pseudo-female tassel. If it was a direct simulation of a male tassel, then it is very likely to breed with some strange things!"

   Zhao Meng calmed down,

   Start planning your next move,

  The so-called independent tassel sandpipers, according to Zhao Meng's observation, should be those male birds that occupy the territory.

  In order to be able to defend the ring,

  Those male birds will often fight with other male birds,

   In order to allow himself to compete for territory, Zhao Meng's next growth process is to make himself bigger and stronger.

  In addition to guarding the territory,

  He still needs to learn one more thing, that is, to distinguish the female fringed sandpiper,

  He doesn't want his harem on fire when he's fighting other males.

  With these ideas in mind,

  Zhao Meng began to simulate according to this idea,

   "You are two weeks old, you opened your eyes and started to **** food from other chicks in the nest, your development is one step ahead!"

   "In the third week, your size becomes bigger and you become the largest existence in the nest"

   "In the fourth week, you voluntarily left the female bird and started hunting by yourself!"

   "The fifth week, with your proficient insect predation skills, you will become stronger!"

   "The sixth week, the breeding season is here, you fly to the small island in the oasis, your chest is held high, the red tassels are extraordinarily dazzling in the sun,

   "A strong physique allows you to occupy the best breeding territory on the island!"

   "In the seventh week, you attracted the attention of females, but you did not rush, but began to carefully identify the females in the territory!"

   "You found some strange females and expelled them from the territory. Your behavior made the male fringed sandpipers wandering around very happy,

  They adopted these female fringed sandpipers and plan to breed with these fringed sandpipers! "

   "The eighth week, you have completed the purpose of breeding!"

   "Week 9, the oasis you left to explore the world around you!"

  At this time, Zhao Meng was circling around the oasis,

  Looking at the endless desert around him, Zhao Meng was thinking about something,

  "The breeding has been completed, but there is still no hint that the simulation is successful,

  It seems that if the simulation is to be successful, the tassel sandpiper must live a complete life! "

   "I don't know if there is any scoring option during the simulation"

   "That's all! Continue to simulate!"

   "If it's just to live a lifetime, it shouldn't be difficult with human wisdom, just hide in a safe place!"

   Zhao Meng waited for the end of the simulation,

  At this time, a black shadow flashed across the sky,

  The fear engraved in his genes made him hide in the oasis again,

  He started to wander in the oasis, waiting for the end of the simulation.

  Zhao Meng originally thought that he could live like this until the end of his life, but the reminder from the simulation system interrupted his plan:

   "At the twelfth week, the temperature begins to drop, and the instinct in your genes tells you that you should leave here!"

   "Oops! This fringed sandpiper is really a migratory bird!"

  At this time, Zhao Meng looked at the reflection in the lake,

  I found that due to the change of seasons, my feathers have changed,

  The gorgeous attire used to attract females has now become suitable for flying,

  Although he is not good-looking anymore, he is more suitable for flying at this time.

  At this time, the birds in the oasis flew up in pieces,

  Zhao Meng hesitated for a moment, and followed the flock of birds in the same direction.

  He didn't know what winter was like here, but he still embarked on the journey of migration just to be on the safe side.

   "In the thirteenth week, during the migration, you were chased by a predator, but you got rid of the predator by taking advantage of the flock of birds!"

   At this time, Zhao Meng was still flying in the sky,

  Recalling the predators I encountered during this period,

  He suddenly thought of a sentence,

  Facing predators, you don’t need to run the fastest, you just need to run faster than other animals,

  As the tassel sandpiper, Zhao Meng deeply understands this point.

Note:

   There are three kinds of males in Tassel Sandpiper,

   These three male birds have completely different behaviors in courtship.

   The first type is the independent male bird, which obtains the right to mate through fighting.

   The second type is the satellite male bird, which wanders around the territory of the independent male bird,

   Taking advantage of the absence of the male bird, invading its territory to commit crimes,

   And the third pseudo-female fringed sandpiper is also the strangest male bird,

   Males of this species masquerade as females, blend into the territory of independent males, and mate with independent males.

   Then find opportunities to mate with real females when the independent males are not looking.

   According to the Chinese Journal of Science, researchers LeifAndersson and Terry Burke conducted genome sequencing on male tassel sandpipers and found that:

   Compared with the independent type, the same chromosomal region in the satellite type and pseudo-gynotype has been transferred.

   This region contains more than 100 genes, and the transformation is thought to appear as a "supergene" inherited from a single gene block.

   According to the "Birds of China" records, the egg color of tassel sandpiper is olive brown, yellowish brown, light green or light blue, with brown or gray spots on the cover.

   That is to say, the different male forms of Tassel Sandpiper are manifested when it is still an egg.
