According to Doubleday, that is unlikely. The rise in cephalopod populations could slow down if the animals run out of prey(被捕食的动物) and start feeding on one another. Overfishing could also have an impact on their numbers. For now, the cephalopod population boom is good news for ...
Related to coadaptation:coaptation splint co·a·dapt·ed (kō′ə-dăp′tĭd) adj. 1.Of or relating to characteristics of two or more species that have evolved through mutually beneficial interactions between the species. 2.Of or relating to alleles at two or more genetic loci that hav...
Is the keelback’s ability to coexist with toads a function of its ancestral Asian origins, or a consequence of rapid adaptation since cane toads arrived in Australia? And does the snake’s feeding preference for frogs rather than toads reflect an innate or learned behaviour? We compared ...
These are mechanisms present in an organism that allow it to perform certain biochemical reactions to survive in its natural habitat. Example: A snake’s ability to produce venom, mammal’s ability to maintain constant body temperature. Even the ability of our body to produce hydrochloric acid to...
Sea snakes are composed of species in the fully aquatic hydrophiins and amphibious laticaudins (also called sea kraits) [3]. Molecular phylogenetic studies have reported that Hydrophiini forms a monophyletic clade with terrestrial snake species, and this clade forms a sister clade with the amphib...
Variations in a population lead to adaptations. Anadaptationis a characteristic that increases an organism's chances of surviving, mating, and reproducing. The peacock’s tail is such an adaptation. So is the snake’s hinged jaw, which enables it to eat larger prey like rodents and frogs, wh...
