natural selection
Give this one a try later!
A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to
survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of
those traits.
hyporheic zone
Give this one a try later!
The portion of the substrate below and adjacent to a stream bed where
water movement still occurs, either from the stream or from groundwater
moving into the stream.
,riffles
Give this one a try later!
fast moving water with coarse particles on the stream bed
stabilizing selection
Give this one a try later!
form of natural selection in which individuals near the center of a
distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the
curve
lower critical temperature
Give this one a try later!
The environmental temperature at which the heat loss of an endotherm
triggers an increase in metabolic heat generation.
Hibernation
Give this one a try later!
, Long-term torpor that is an adaptation to winter cold and food scarcity.
fixation
Give this one a try later!
allele frequency of 100%
What is the relationship between surface area to volume and heat exchange?
Give this one a try later!
larger surface area causes a larger heat exchange to occur
geographic range
Give this one a try later!
the entire geographic region over which a species is found
therm-neutral zone
Give this one a try later!
, environmental temperature range over which endotherms maintain a
constant basal metabolic rate
Tropical rainforests
Give this one a try later!
Near the equator. Warm with lots of precipitation. Little seasonal
temperature variation. Most diverse biome.
How does dispersal capability affect dispersion?
Give this one a try later!
If it is limited it can prevent it from reaching areas of suitable habitats or
maintaining the ones they currently have
Why is Earth's climate currently change?
Give this one a try later!
Increased concentrations of gases
Why are plants good indicators of the physical environment?
