Ecological relationships with adaptations
REDATOR Adaptation o feeding predators have a acute senses that enabled them to get their prey O example rattle snakes locate their prey with special heat senses under their eyes and kill them by injected them with their venom in their fangs. O many herbivores insects locate good by chemical sensing feet PLANT DEFENSES AGAINST Herbivores O plant defenses are chemical toxin, spines and thorns since they cant run away. O some chemical weapons are morphine from opium poppy and. Nicotine from tobacco plants. O some plants have bad Flavors so herbivores won't eat them EX peppermint cinnamon and cloves ANIMAL DEFENSES Against Predators O animals can hide, defend themselves or escape to be not eaten O some animals flee to their shelter. O some mammals defend their young against predators O alarm calls is a behavioral defense O adaptive coloration is a defense animals use camouflage which is called cryptic coloration. O some animals have other defenses such as skunks with their smell and pod UPI es wit. Their spikes O some animals as frogs can make toxins. The y have their bright colors to warn the predator that the re toxic. This is called eating coloration O another defense is BATESIAN MIMICARY where an animal copies another animal that looks harmful. O MULLERIAN MIMICARY - two or more unpalatable species resemble each other which wars other predators to avoid it.
Natural selection favors the evolution of predator adaptations for finding, capturing, and consuming prey. predator adaptations include the sticky webs of spiders, the flesh-cutting teeth of wolves and coyotes, the speed of cheetahs, and the striped pattern of a tiger’s coat, which provides camouflage in a grassland habitat. Therefore, natural selection also favors adaptations in prey that allow the prey to escape, avoid, or otherwise ward off predators.
animal adaptation help them survive and catch food.
