Can you identify the major theme illustrated by each of the following examples? If necessary, you may review the themes in Chapter 1 of your book. Match the themes on the left with the examples on the right. Not all themes will be used. Interactions within biological systems As a limited food supply is divided among more and more individuals, birth rates may decline as individuals have fewer resources available for reproduction. Evolution A population's pattern of survivorship is an important feature of its life history. It is the set of traits that affects an organism's schedule of reproduction and survival, influencing its fitness. Pathways that transform energy and matter Relationship of structure to function In addition to competition for resources, other factors may cause density-dependent deaths in a population. For example, the death rate may climb as a result of increased disease transmission under crowded conditions or the accumulation of toxic waste products. Information flow One life history pattern is typified by small-bodied, short-lived species that develop and reach sexual maturity rapidly, have a large number of offspring, and offer little or no parental care. Such organisms have an opportunistic life history that enables them to take immediate advantage of favorable conditions.
