BIOB50H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Phenotypic Plasticity, Prey 2, Omnivore
Document Summary
These are aspects of strategy (elements of life history)-> to maximize the benefits. To answer all these questions-> must know abt environment organism lives in & how it interacts w/other species in this environment. And answers can be completely diff for organisms living in similar environments. Answer to 1 question will dictate other answers-> all related to each other. So an organism can change the way it looks/behaves in a diff context. So some aspects= not always genetically programmed-> and are able to change. (e. g. : plant-> under one environment, may start floweing; but same plant, in a diff environment-> may grow for longer before flowering) Relationship b/w trunk diameter & aspects of leaf mass. So the larger the trunk= the bigger the leaf mass. Climate affects that relation; in desert-> larger trunk & smaller leaf mass (and thinner trunks and taller trees in wetlands) Morphs-> o(cid:396)ga(cid:374)is(cid:373) (cid:272)a(cid:374) p(cid:396)odu(cid:272)e (cid:448)e(cid:396)y diff i(cid:374)di(cid:448)iduals, depe(cid:374)di(cid:374)g o(cid:374) (cid:449)hat e(cid:374)(cid:448)i(cid:396)o(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)t it"s i(cid:374)
