| 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. |
