Question
Chapter 37.6, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To predict:
The life history traits of the mollies in toxic stream near the opening of a cave, where only limited amount of light is available with reference to Fig. 37.19 “Life-history Trade-offs” in the textbook from chapter Populations.
Concept introduction:
The overall growth of the population is influenced by the death and the birth rates, however, the natural selection acts on small scale. Through natural selection, the species which have maximum fitness survive.

The deep shade under mature heoch trees keeps birch tree seeds from sprouting. The dense rocts of cogon grass outcompete other grasses for water and nutrients. Plant rocts growing in cracks in bare ock assist with soil formation. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in alder roots increase the soil's nitrogen content. Oaks can sprout and grow in the dim light under pines and birches.arrow_forward

Kelps and corraline algae can be found along the lower intertidal and subtidal zones. ? The lower intertidal is dominated by seaweeds. The first stage of ecological succession in the rocky intertidal is the establishment of bacteria and microscopic algae. Green, brown and red algae on the upper intertidal are able to fix nitrogen from the air. The effect of a keystone species can easily be judged by how abundant it is.arrow_forward
