Question
5 SOUTHERN BEECH TREES (Nothofagus) a With what environmental factors is the distribution of southern beech trees associated? b Fossil beech trees are found in Antarctica. What can you surmise about the climate of Antarctica at the time beech trees lived there? c What was the distribution of beech trees at that time? d Why are there no living beech trees in Antarctica? e Did beech trees evolve on Laurasia or on Gondwana? f Explain the present-day discontinuous distribution of these ancient trees. How did populations come to exist on different continents? 6 BLACKPOLL WARBLER (Dendroica striata). Hint: Use North American biomes. a What are the two distinct habitats in which this bird occurs? b How do you explain its occurrence in such different habitats? (Hint: What do many birds do when winter comes?) C Can you determine whether these birds evolved on Laurasia or on Gondwana? d Why or why not? 7 NORTH AMERICAN BIOMES. Examine the map of North American biomes. a Why isn't this map an accurate description of the modern distribution of these biomes? b Why doesn't the desert extend all the way to the Pacific coast in Southern California? c Why has the Miami, Florida, area been a successful area for the introduction of exotic tropical species, such as parrots from South America? d Why were these tropical species originally absent from Florida?
