Definitions





1. The time it takes for a population to double

2. The subdivision of a niche by 2 closely related population in order to avoid competition with each other

3. A field of study that argues taxonomy must reflect the true evolutionary history

4. A characteristic that is found in 2 or more animals that have the same function but is not found in a common ancestor

5. A grouping of organisms that includes an ancestor and some, but not all of its descendants 6. Co-evolution of aposematic coloration in 2 species that are both distasteful

7. A way of classifying, categorizing and naming organisms 8. A type of Symbiosis in which both species benefit from the relationship

9. A signal that has evolved to warn predators that the animal is deadly, dangerous, or distasteful

10. A trait or characteristic that is recently evolved and is not found in ancestral lineage 11. A relationship between 2 or more species in which one species benefits and the other is negatively affected

12. A grouping of organisms that includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants 13. The study of evolutionary relationships 14. A process in which two or more species influence the evolution of one another

15. The study of early animal development

16. A trait or characteristic shared by all descendants in a phylogeny 17. The maximum number of individuals in a population that can be supported by the environment

18. The evolutionary history and line of descent of a species

19. Morphological feature becomes more similar between closely related species when geographically isolated



20. A type of Symbiosis in which one species benefits from the relationship and the other is not affected

21. The study of populations, originally termed for the study of human populations 22. Morphological feature becomes more different between closely related species in sympatry 23. Evolution that produces similar attributes due to similar habitat but not common ancestry 24. Co-evolution of aposematic coloration in both a distasteful species and a palatable species 25. A type of Symbiosis in which one species benefits and the other is harmed, but not usually killed, from the relationship 26. A grouping of organisms that includes two convergent descendants but not their common ancestor 27. A characteristic that is found in 2 or more animals that can be found or traced to a common ancestor
