Document Summary
Synecology: (syn) together- the study of the laws that govern the living together of various species. Autoecology studying one species ( life habbits, growth habbits) etc. Outcome of the synecology is the outcome of the autoecology. Genome size of poplar seeds are 45 thousand genes. Greater diversity in genome and greater genes due to present on earth longer than humans. Due to natural ancestors that have been here for awhile. Duplication of genes make duplicagtion of genes. Bacteria all around us, bacteria recolonize quickly. 122 is the longest documented life span species can outlive humans. Coy fish are 200yrs vertebrates can live past 200yrs. Moneria spilt as archeabacteria and bacteria dependant on where they live. 1977 studied the archea bacteria arch are looked at differently. 7- maybe 80 years of age constantly reproducing asexually. Tardygrades: waterbears withstand a lot of stress for the first few minutes very resilliant to temperature.
