Lab #6 Evolution and Adaptations.

Adaptation radiation and how the different paper forms made by the finches helped or hurt that finches species.

Darwin  sailed at the age of 22 in 1831. He discovered 13 species of finches among the Galapagos. The changes in the finches didn't have explanation, but the changes have been in finches for generation, in the necessity of survival there beck adapted to eat from different part of a tree, for the big among of island populations. The finches changes are trough its genetic(Genotype) with is pass to the chick by them parents, letting the things that they didn't use behind.

Species Competition

In order to see how the change happen in an species we make an experiment with candies that represent the preys in an environment. The competition is big, and species change or disappear how we are going to see in the figure 1. 

Figure 1. This graph represent five generation of species change where the predator competed and end the species with the time.  

The Percent of Surviving prey (candy type).Having the results of  survivor species in the figure 1. The next graph represent the percent of a 100% of population for each specie survivor in five generation.

Figure 2. Surviving prey during five generations competition  between predators. 

What is Behavioral Adaptation: If an animal or plant is to survive it must be able to fit in with the environmental conditions which occur in its habitat. This fitting in is called adaptation. Every living thing is adapted to enable it to cope with a particular habitat’s environmental factors such as the air, water, soil, light and temperature.(Adaptation for Survivor).

Animals adapted to live where predator are, by protecting them with spines. In this case it is the fox porcupine, who has develop spines to protect themselves from predator, and also from the human who have found out that this spines can help the molar pain.

Figure 3. Dog bitten by a fox porcupine, nice example of how well the adaptation works for the fox.

Figure 4. Porcupine foxes also have developed color to help them in different environments to hit in places.

Animal adapted to live in cold temperature, some animals develop a heavy coat, or produce oil in their feathers. The polar bear is a warm-blooded mammal, capable of maintain the body with an average temperature to survivor. It also is able to keep fat for the additional insulation. (wildlife in winter-adaptation for survivor) 

 Figure 4. Polar bear with a little baby who needs to be able of keeping fat, and warm-blood in order to survive.

El Salvador specie adaptation example.
The otters in El Salvador are a protected specie, because they are every year less for the pollution of the water on rivers. This little animals are very friendly to humans which also permit to people got them for the skin to fabricated items with it. The otters are a example of adaptation, because they can live in the wather where they eat fishes, and also in the different types of forest, savannas, and coastal marshes.(FUNZEL)

Figure 6. Otter cut in the back by people.

The adaptation of the species not all the time is for protect themselves from predator in this case we have the otter who needs to be protect from the humans, for being a friendly animals.
