BIO 282 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Ecological Niche, Hydrothermal Vent
Document Summary
An ecological niche is notthe number of places an organism can live. An ecological niche is notthe latitudinal range of an organism. An ecological niche is the range of conditions that an organism can tolerate. Animals in young vents should have a different thermal niche than animals in old vents. The enzymes of animals in old vents should be more flexible than those of animals in young vents. Temperature of hydrothermal vent, with a positive relationship between allele 90 frequency and temperature. Increase of performance calls for a decrease in temperature. You can never be perfect at everything without an unlimited amount of energy. Transplant experiment is where you take two different species and switch their locations with each other. (move a to where b is and b to where a is)
