4. Example 3: Daphnia cucullata are tiny aquatic invertebrates. Scientists have shown that they can grow longer helmets and tail spines when there are predators nearby. This growth is induced by molecules released by the predators themselves. What advantage might this ability to grow longer helmets and tail spines provide to the Daphnia?

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
