To review:
The life history strategies that are characterized by Lobelia telekii versus Lobelia keniensis, and life history strategies of guppies in high-predation versus low-predation stream sites.
Given:
The Figure 1 represents related species of genus Lobelia, which have taken different forms in different regions.
Figure 1: Related species of the genus Lobelia.
The predation of guppies at high-predation and low-predation stream sites in Trinidad affects their population, as represented in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Life history of guppies get affected by predation in stream sites.
Introduction:
Life history strategies of different populations differ at species level and population level. Life history strategies vary among two species of Lobelia due to their different habitats and environmental conditions. In case of guppies, the levels of predation make difference in their life history strategies.
