basic alteration of generations life cycle
|

|
|
symbiosis
|
dinoflagellate algae living in Anemones and corals provide carbon based products of photosynthesis, and receive protection and nitrogen based nutrient in return. gut protists living inside the guts of termites break down the cellulose consumed by termites and produce acetate that is used up as energy and a source of carbon by the host termite
|
|
pollination
|
bees-pollinate brightly covered plants but can't see red
hummingbirds-like to pollinate unscented flowers moths-white plants at night ` |
|
pollination shift
|
plant evolves to the pollinator;eventually leads to speciation and is irreversible
ex;hummingbirds and flowers |
|
co evolution
|
plants and flowers evolve with each other, meaning it eventually may be reversible, leads to specialization
|
|
morphological adaptations
|
spines evolved as an anti predator defense through convergent evolution
|
|
limb loss
|
not homologous trait in lizards; in tree in lab showed leglessness evolved 9 times. leglessness evolves according to habitat, easier motion in water, ability to burrow in soft-soilded/hot environments
4 advantages-more efficient locomotion, ability to utilize crevices, ability to burrow, efficient reproductive strategies ancestor to snakes must be fully 4 limbed, but with reduced stubs to lack of use |
|
homoplasy and convergence
|
external morphology may not indicate the best evolutionary relationship die to convergent evolution/homoplasy
|
|
morphology stasis
|
unchanging environments cause evolutionary stasis in different species
ex;sharks, ray, chimeras have evolved much slower than birds and sister taxa |
|
body modifications and character polarity
|
evolution in body form in sessile organisms depends upon the availability of food sources in the environment. trade offs include food fathering, competition, and predation
barnacles ancestral form is stalk, derived is sessile tunicate ancestral form is sessile, derived is stalk squat form-short, thick shells, hold tight to surface even after death little legs cannot extend far for food stalk-thin stalk is easily knocked over by water or organisms, greater ability to extend farther for food |
|
