In California, Pacific Northern rattlesnakes prey on California ground squirrels. Their relationship is a great example of co-evolution. Read the article about their relationship found at https://news.osu.edu/how-is-rattlesnake-venom-like-fine-wine-both-have-regional-varieties/, and then address the following questions: Explain why the relationship between these two species is considered an example of co-evolution. What did you find most interesting or significant […]
In the section about viruses, our textbook discusses how new strains of flu arise via viral reassortment (page 245). This is also known as genetic reassortment. Read the following recent article from MIT News about tracking the spread of bird flu that discusses the impact of reassortment: http://news.mit.edu/2017/tracking-spread-bird-flu-alaska-north-america-0317. Next, address the following: Discuss the factors […]
Sometimes we are interested in the way that organisms are distributed across a particular habitat, as described in Chapter 16. Corina Tarnita’s research on the spacing of termite mounds in savanna ecosystems is one example. Watch the video about her research, found at: https://youtu.be/nJGpABrEatc, and then address the following: What do you think is the […]
Our focus this week is on ecology. Ecology is the study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their physical environments. Watch the video entitled “Some animals are more equal than others…” found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1142&v=hRGg5it5FMI. Then address the following two issues: Why do you think that many keystone species are predators at the top […]
