1
Q

A
fitness
2
Q
what experimental approaches manipulate species?
A
population size, variation, attributes (size/colour), modify (mimics)
3
Q
what experimental approaches manipulate the environment?
A
species compostion, exclude/include predators, alter physical factors (temp, humidity)
4
Q
why are microbes good models for adaptive radiaton?
A
rapid generation times, large population size, easy storage, asexual/sexual, readily controllable environment
