BIO153H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Carl Linnaeus, Dont, Malpighiales
Document Summary
There are more examples of evolution in the making. In the last few years, blackcaps appeared more frequently. Fewer and fewer birds that migrate from britain will mate with those that migrated from spain. Those flying from britain has shorter wings (cause they don"t have to fly for that long compared to spain) Even beak shape is starting to shape (britain has narrow beak?) A lot of birdwatchers in britain and there are a lot of birdfeeders (reliable source of high energy food that is not found in spain) All of us had an idea of how a shape is associated with a name. The name pronunciation effect: people like mr. smith better than mr. colquhoun (ppl associate friendlier feelings with those who have simpler names) But humans have a knack for naming and ordering things. He noticed that dolphins have to come up from the water to breathe so he didn"t group them with fish.
