23
Q

features of humans

A

bipedal, short digestive tract, 99% of genome identical to chimpanzee

24
Q

features of birds

A

birds are reptiles and bipedal dinosaurs, feathers are exaption

25
Q

what is competetion

A

2 individuals of different species compete for resource

26
Q

what are echinodermata?

A

bilateral symerty, deuterosome, ambulatory system, marine stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sand dollars

27
Q

what does species distribution depend on

A

evolutionary history, biotic and abiotic factors,

28
Q

what makes acoela and platyhelminthes different from other bilateria?

A

lost their body cavity, dont have digestive tract

29
Q

trophic relationship?

A

Populations of intermediate trophic levels can be controlled by either:
amount of food available in lower trophic levels (bottom-up control)
presence of predators (top-down control)

30
Q

what are biomes

A

major ecosystem type, classified by vegetation and physical environment

31
Q

what are osteichthytes

A

calcium phosphate bones, swim bladder

32
Q

what is a generalist

A

species that thrive in wide variety of of conditions (racoon with varied diet)

33
Q

what are vertebrates

A

species with a skeletal system formed by veterbral column, mucle attatchment, duplication of hox genes

34
Q

life cycle of amphibian?

A

aquatic larval stage, metamorphosis, predator adult

35
Q

how do species respond to climate change

A

natural range is limited, range is shifted north, shrinkage of range, adaptation and expansion of range, barriers prevent colonization

36
Q

what are gnathostomes

A

verterbrates with jaws, have two gill arches (mandibular arch, hyoid arch), anterior gill slits, and duplication of hox genes

37
Q

ray finned vs lobed fin osteichthytes

A

ray- no skeleton in fins, rays project from basal bones (actinopterygii)
lobed- internal fin skeleton, “walk” on substrate (actinistia)

38
Q

what are amniotes?

A

air insulation in embryo stage and ventilation

39
Q

what is dispersal

A

movement of indivudals away from area of origin or from centers of high population density, reliazed distrubtion is not always the same as the suitable range

40
Q

what species are considered to be Ecdysozoa?

A

protosome animals with exoskeleton, ecdysis, prescence of ganglions (bugs, worms, lobster)

41
Q

what is a specialist

A

species that thrives in narrow range of environmental conditions (koala with ecalpytus)

42
Q

example of adaption after drought

A

el nino, food was scarce, strong natural slection, birds with beaks for large shells were favored

43
Q

features of mammals

A

mammary glands, endothermy, differentiated teeth, hair and fat layer, kidneys

44
Q

different kinds of ecology

A

organismal, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, global

45
Q

4 embryonic membranes?

A

chorion- outer membrane, gas exchange
amnion- surrounds cavity (mech. protection)
allantois- surrounds disposal sac (meta. waste)
yolk sac- nutrients

46
Q

what adaptions in tetra pods lead to colonization

A

support against gravity, vascular system, breathing/hearing in air

47
Q

what species are considered to be lophotrochozoa

A

protosome animals with either lopophore ( ciliated tentacles around mouth) or trochophore (specific larval stage)

48
Q

how do chondrichthyes reproduce?

A

3 modes: oviparous (egg laying, external hatch)
ovoviviparous (embryo feed from eggs yolk, internal hatch)
viviparous (feed through placenta, birth)

49
Q

what is a keystone species

A

species that has a large influence on species richness of the community relative to its abundance

50
Q

what are tetra pods

A

four limbs with digits, new land niches

51
Q

what are cephalochordates?

A

feeding through filtration in pharynx, lateral movment for locomotion, called lancelets

52
Q

3 hypothesis for latitudinal gradient

A
  1. more solar energy- longer growing season, higher productivity, more biodiversity
  2. more stable climate- niche specialization, resource partitioning, more biodiversity
  3. temperate vulnerable to glaciations- tropics stayed undistrubed, reduced extinction, more biodiversity
53
Q

cnidaria?

A

jellyfish, anemones, corals, diploblastic, radial symerty, hydrostatic skelton

54
Q

what are cyclostomes

A

vertebraes without jaws, circular mouth, called hagfishes or lampreys

55
Q

what is a competitive niche

A

all of the biotic and abiotic resources used by a species, realized niche is always smaller than fundamental niche because of competition
