A) What does the phylogeny suggest about the evolutionary process that led to the trait differences by habitat?
a. convergent evolution
b. adaptive radiation
c. phenotypic plasticity
B) Choose different functional forms from two of the habitats shown in the collage and describe how one or more differences in form may represent an adaptation to their different environment. Example: compare plant form for lobeliads in montane bog to cloud forest understory
What may be some reasons why the importance values for each species are different?
For the image attached did the moth population evolve? Explain. Is it micro or macroevolution?
