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 |
