Textbook Question
Chapter 52.4, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS → Hawaiian silverswords under-went a remarkable adaptive radiation after their ancestor reached Hawaii, while the islands were still young (see Figure 25.22). Would you expect the cattle egret to undergo a similar adaptive radiation in the Americas (see Figure 52.18)? Explain.

Students have asked these similar questions
Adaptive radiation is common following a period of mass extinction, probably because (a) the survivors of a mass extinction are remarkably well adapted to their environment (b) the unchanging environment following a mass extinction drives the evolutionary process (c) many adaptive zones are empty(d) many ecological niches are filled (e) the environment induces changes in the timing of development for many species
Evolution in Humans:
1) describe several techniques that paleontologists today use to establish fossil age
2) describe how tracking changes in DNA sequence among related organisms can be used to
create a migration map
Explain all .

- MAKE CONNECTIONS The bacterium Wolbachia is asymbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidlythrough mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchersare seeking a strain that confers resistance and does notharm mosquitoes. Compare evolutionary changes thatcould occur if malaria control is attempted using such aWolbachia strain versus using insecticides to kill mosquitoes.
