p & a final Flashcards
allisome
extension of plant that an ant grabs + seeds disperses
foregut fermentation
increase in nutrition absorption
Bacera
insect diversity + plant diversity
disparity of insects
latitude excepted but not correct
Skull
herbivore, grazer, grinding teeth, crushing plant material
selective pressure of seed dispersal
competition with its parent (shaded herbivores, soil, bacteria)
corpse flower
beetles pollinate it
olfactory of __ feeding insects
pine tree mast to overwhelm herbivores
saturation by fruiting all at once so herbivores cant get all at once
dung beetles
too much cattle so needed to get poop
be breaks down slowly tattemative to biting flies??
there were wrong dung beetles brought to us (i think) so they needed bigger ones
pinon jays
big hippocampus
special seed carrying part in mouth
big
domestication syndrome of cereals
no reproduction w/out humans
reduced plant defenses and lower communication w/ microrisal + other species
non shattering seed head, faster growth, reduced competition
Adaptive radiation of bees
mid cretaceous
bernese amber (beetles, thrips , wasps) but bees were not preserved
crown groups, molecular phyloqerny
resin collecting bees fossilize out
flower plants
triassic
angiosperm terr–> crestaceous
hypatic portal system
detoxifies plant toxins you eat
liver - big molecule?
kidney - small molecule
filtration
seed caching birds
blue jay (other corvids)
insect herbivore adaptations
chewing mouth parts
peritrophic membrane
