  1. Opener of the DAy APES

  2. Batesian or Muellerian Mimicry • 10/17/13 • Groups of organisms which are ALL unpalatable with similar color patterns and markings. Muellerian Both can sting their predators!

  3. Batesian or Muellerian Mimicry • One species is poisonous and the other is a non-poisonous copy. Predators avoid both. • Venomous or Not? Batesian Mimicry The non-poisonous benefits from the poisonous species’ coloration.

  4. 10/16/13: Forest Fires

  5. 10/16: Forest Fires • Describe the process of succession that occurs after a forest fire destroys a biological community. • 2. How is a periodic fire beneficial to a community?

  6. 10/9/13:Which organism is this?

  7. Predict environmental changes that could have influenced the change in the whale species.

  8. Adaptations - • Acquisition of traits that allow species to survive and thrive in the environment. • Types of adaptations: • 1. Structural • 2. Behavioral • 3. Physiological: produces chemical defense • 4. Camouflage • 5. Mimicry: copy other species to survive

  9. Camouflage

  10. Structural and Behavioral Structural Behavioral – Blue Footed Booby Birds Mating Call

  11. In group—10 minutes • Create a creature which can survive one of the biomes. Must have 3 of the adaptations listed: • Desert • Arctic Tundra • Tropical Rain Forest • Grassland • Temperate forests (either coniferous – cone bearing or deciduous – loss of leaves in cold temperatures • Coral Reef

  12. Questions to ponder… • What influences the adaptations of a species? Their Environment! • How do those adaptations occur? Passing on of favorable traits over time.
