Document Summary

Biogeography-distribution of living things animals, plants, single cells etc. Differential survivorship- changing the colour of species through selection (predation pressure) Von humbolt- founder of biogeo wrote about the relationships between soil, plants and climate and how they interacted to create a landscape. Endemic- all things are limited to a range. Charles lyell-geologist- earth older than 4004 years-used strata of different rock types. Joseph hooker- botanist- got darwin to collect plants for him-darwin used farmers for selective breeding and hybridization. Gregor mendel-monk- showed consistency through hybridization- info moved flower colours. Alfred russel wallace- biogeographer- borneo"s rivers- marsupials (pouch) and eutherans (placental)- sent manuscript about natural selection to darwin. Convergeant evolution- similarities in form from environment and evolution- dolphin, shark, ethniosay all streamline but look different. Determined event-the was a cause resulting in an effect. Stochastic- event- cannot be predicted random- unexplained. Population growth is a driver of population density and distribution.
