Plant-Animal Coevolution Evolution Charles Darwin gave what could be described as a loose definition of evolution when he wrote “descent with modification” (Darwin‚ 1859). Evolution is defined more specifically as a change in the genetic composition of a population‚ from generation to generation (Reece et al.‚ 2011). In this investigation into coevolution‚ in particular plant-animal coevolution‚ the adaptations and reasons for these adaptations in a specific example of plant-animal coevolution will

Aechmea fasciata: A plant analyzed Meaning spear tipped‚ in Greek. Its common name is Silver Vase. It is called Silver Vase because it sort of looks like a silver vase with a spiny pink flower. From the family Bromeliaceae. Although the Aechmea fasciata is a widely used house plant the most popular bromeliad is the Pineapple. Some bromeliads‚ such as Aechmea fasciata‚ are epiphytic meaning they grow on other plants. A true epiphyte is a plant driven by demands for light or moisture to seek a perch

Lab 4: Plant Transpiration Project By Shelby Hyde Lab 030 Date Due: March 12‚ 2013 The Effect of Wind on the Rate of Transpiration Introduction: Transpiration is the process through which water is evaporated from plants. This serves many purposes‚ including thermoregulation and the diffusion of CO2‚ but most importantly creates a water potential difference which causes the mass flow of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves of the plant. Transpiration is accomplished through structures

for plant growth as well as crop physiology. Almost every plant process is affected directly or indirectly by water supply. Plants‚ as one of basic food sources‚ either in nature or cultivations‚ in their growing period‚ require water or at least moisture for germination. Certainly‚ most land plants are exposed to short or long term water stress at some times in their life cycle and have tended to develop some adaptive mechanisms for adapting to changing environmental conditions. Some plants may
