What are the examples of savanna?

Examples of Savanna Grasslands Some of the most well-known savannas include the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania, the vast Acacia Plains of East Africa, the savannas of Venezuela, and the Australian Savanna. The Serengeti Plains are probably one of the most famous savannas in the world.

What is one example of an adaptation in the savanna?

The acacia and baobab trees are common in African savannas. In order for the grasses to survive the dry season and the periodic fires, they have developed an adaptation that allows them to grow quickly when there is adequate water. Then when water becomes scarce, the grasses turn brown to limit water loss.

What are some environmental issues in the savanna?

PEOPLE AND THE SAVANNA: Some environmental concerns with savannas include poaching or hunting, overgrazing, and destruction of land for commercial crops. Many animals in the savanna, such as the rhinoceros and zebra, are endangered and threatened with extinction due to hunting, poaching, and habitat loss.

What are two plants that live in the savanna?

Now that we know what a savanna is, let’s look at some of the coolest savanna plants.

1. Baobab Tree. The baobab tree (genus Adansonia) looks like something out of a Doctor Seuss story.
2. Candelabra Tree. The candelabra tree (E.
3. Elephant Grass. P.
4. Gum Arabic Tree.
5. Whistling Thorn.
6. Acacia Tree.
7. Jackalberry Tree.

Which is an example of a mode of coevolution?

Other modes of coevolution involve competitive interaction between two specific species. The Plethodon salamander study is a good example: two species are competing: in the Great Smoky mountains the two species compete strongly as evidenced by the fact that each species will increase population size if the other is removed.

How does coevolution affect the structure of Anolis?

There is coevolution because the competitive interactions between resident and invading species of Anolis involve reciprocal responses in the evolution of body size. These affect the structure of the lizard community as evidenced by the general pattern of there being a single species of lizard on each island.]

Which is the best description of pairwise coevolution?

Pairwise coevolution (or ‘specific’ coevolution) describes tight coevolutionary relationships between two species. Diffuse coevolution (or ‘guild’ coevolution) refers to reciprocal evolutionary responses between suites of species.

Which is an example of a coevolutionary arms race?

The classic analogy is the coevolutionary arms race: a plant has chemical defenses, an insect evolves the biochemistry to detoxify these compounds, the plant in turn evolves new defenses that the insect in turn “needs” to further detoxify.
