Document Summary
Bio 208 lecture 21 monday, march 5, 2018. Batesian mimicry: play off the toxicity of the others, batesian mimicry happens to species occurring in the same region, likelihood of encountering any of these species is equal. Mullerian mimicry: let"s all dress alike: mimic one another when several poisonous or inedible species look similar, all still have mechanism (e. g. stinging) but have evolved to look similar, you"ll have a negative reaction if you eat this . Know this stuff: modelling, capture efficiency, conversion factor, how prey avoid predation. Fun fact: eukaryotes may have originated as mutualistic associations, e. g. mitochondria and chloroplasts may have been separate species back then. Pollination: optimal foraging vs. pollen movement: two major pollination routes, abiotic: wind, rain, biotic: bees, flies, ants, butterflies, birds, small mammals, need to spread pollen (sperm) around, with help, since plants can"t move.
