Like, plants in the desert—your textbook doesn’t have much about the specifics on desert plants, but I think that desert plants are great examples of specialized adaptations to extreme environmental conditions. So with desert plants, there are basically three different adaptive strategies. And I...

Indeed, desert plants are frequently used as examples in many biology classes and textbooks to illustrate natural selection, but this has led to an unfortunate litany of errors and misconceptions about desert plant adaptations. This new synthesis focuses on plants of lowland tropical and subtropical ...
Welwitschia mirabilisis a desert plant only found in the Namib Desert of Southern Africa. It is a cone-producing plant in the same plant group (gymnosperms) as plants such as conifers. The plant has a large tap root and a network of other roots. Above the ground it has two long, stra...
Desert animals provide some dramatic examples of convergent evolution—that is, the evolution of similar body forms or physiological adaptations in unrelated organisms under the same environmental conditions worldwide. Bipedality in a variety of rodents—for example, springhares (Pedetes) in Africa,jerbo...
In addition to its other adaptations, a typical desert shrub produces a great abundance of hard-coated seeds that help ensure the future of the species. Given enough moisture, desert grasses grow swifly and produce abundant seeds. They have a dense tangle of shallow roots that compete effective...
