6 concepts
process
pathogen transmission
Spread of disease between individuals through various mechanisms including spore dispersal
process
optimal outcrossing distance
Distance range that maximizes pollen fertilization success and offspring survival
process
antagonistic selection
Selection pressures that oppose each other within or between levels of biological organization
process
assortative mating
Non-random mating where individuals preferentially mate with similar individuals
process
buzz pollination
Pollination behavior where bumblebees make vibrations that knock pollen out of plant anthers, fertilizing the plant and allowing quicker seed and fruit production
process
reciprocal hybridization
Crosses between two species where each species serves as both maternal and paternal parent, allowing study of cytoplasmic inheritance effects
