The Problem:
Bean beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus, get their lifetime nutrition from the bean seeds (family Fabaceae) on which their mother lays her eggs. The specific bean on which each egg is laid determines the future success of the larva that develops from that egg. Choosing where to lay an egg is the most important decision a female bean beetle will make for her offspring, yet even within one bean species the seeds available may be very different in quality. Seeds vary in size (even if from the same plant), so the amount of
During what stage do beetles find the majority of their nutrition?

- Cacti vs. Euphorbs Describe 3 general similarities (analogous structures) you observed between Cacti & Euphorbs. Now, identify a specific example -- 1 Cactus species and 1 Euphorb species -- that look especially similar. List their names and clearly describe how they are alike. What environmental pressures likely drove the development of these similar traits? Explain. Now, what makes these two families different? Fill in the table below based on the lab’s video lecture or your personal observations:arrow_forwardDescribe the challenges for plants in terms of resource circulation or dispersal of reproductive structures from an evolutionary perspective (as they moved from single celled to colonial, to small and then large terrestrial forms. Describe the progression of structures from early evolutionary groups to later evolutionary groups to solve one of these challenges in 2-4 paragraphsarrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION With respect to sexual reproduction,some plant species are fully self-fertile, others are fully selfincompatible, and some exhibit a “mixed strategy” withpartial self-incompatibility. These reproductive strategiesdiffer in their implications for evolutionary potential. How,for example, might a self-incompatible species fare as asmall founder population or remnant population in a severepopulation bottleneck (see Concept 23.3), as compared with aself-fertile species?arrow_forward
