adapting to a changing wold Flashcards
(9 cards)
epigenetic
genetics say the same but around he DNA, there are chemical structures are put outside of ti and stops it from being expressed. it can be passed on whilst phenotypic plasticity isn’t. its not changes in the genome but rather methylation
mechanism fo coping change
behavioural
physiology
phenolyptip plasticity
epigenetic
genetic changes
speciation
explain the limits to plasticity
critical thermal mini,mum and thermal optimum and critical thermal maximum
what is phonology
timing of events. fruit phenology. low impact, fruit maturation is scattered. flowering in phenology has large impacts, leads to no fertilisation. mismatch in timing- massive ramifications for natural and agricultural systems.
fixing fragmentation
breaking up is hard to do but hard to fix. ongoing fragmentation/deforestation.
impacts of urbanisation
urban sensitive: don’t cope well
urban adapter: unphased
urban exploiter: animals that they flourish there.
biotic homogenisation
when cirrus begin t have the same organisms that live there. there are the same patterns and therefore result to less diversity
urban garden
recreation of British gardens, idniginious plants looked down upon, native plants on the radar.
