Question
Answer
Life history?   record of an organisms life events relating to growth reproduction development and survival  
🗑
3 characteristics of life history?   -age and size at sexual maturity -amount and timing of reproduction -survival and mortality rates  
🗑
life history strategy?   avgs of life history within a species. det.ed by how splits time and resources for growth reproduction and survival  
🗑
phenotypic plasticity?   organisms with the same genotypes may in different environments exhibit different traits/phenotypes  
🗑
morphs?   distinct forms created through phenotypic plasticity  
🗑
polyphenism?   when a single genotype has many morphs.  
🗑
asexual reproduction? what and who?   cell division, done by many protists and all prokaryotes. some multicellular organisms do both asexual and sexual reproduction.  
🗑
simple vs complex life cycle?   simple has no abrupt transitions, whereas complex have at least 2 distinct forms in which the body forms are different and the environment may be as well.  
🗑
metamorphisis   abrupt change from larvae to juvenile stage of life  
🗑
semelparous vs iteroparous   can reproduce once, can reproduce many times  
🗑
R vs K selection?   r- rapid devel. low invest, high pop growth, short life span k-slow growth, high parental invest, slow pop growth, long life span, low reprod rate,effic reprod favored.  
🗑
Stress? for plants   anythign that reduces vegetative growth  
🗑
Disturbance for plants?   anything that reduces biomass of plant in question  
🗑
propagules?   seeds/eggs  
🗑
when resources are primarily used on early reproduction what happens vs late reproduction?   reproduce at smaller size with less offspring  
🗑
what 3 factors did we learn about in class that affect how life cycles evolve?   competition, predation, environmental conditions  
🗑
dispersal vs parental investment?   both can help with stressful envs, one via anothers aid and the other via fleeing said env. and reducing comp with close relatives  
🗑
dormancy?   another way to cope with stressful envs via going into a state of suspended growth and development in which it's easier to survive  
🗑
TRUE/FALSE Dormancy is only seen in seeds, spores, eggs and embryos.   false, although best suited larger animals may enter dormancy as well.  
🗑
Niche shift   age or size dependant change in organism's function/habitat.  
🗑
