What is the difference between Mullerian mimicry, Batesian mimicry, and aggressive mimicry?
Mullerian mimicry is the similarity in appearance of one species of animal to that of another where BOTH are distasteful, poisonous, or otherwise deleterious to their would-be predator. Batesian mimicry is the similarity in appearance of one harmless or otherwise palatable species of animal to that of another dangerous, poisonous, or distasteful species. Aggressive mimicry-a method of capturing prey by appearing to be something else. Even plants use this—pitcher plants or venus fly traps that smell like rotten meat to attract flies. 4. What is the difference between gross and net primary productivity? Gross primary productivity = rate at which solar energy is converted to chemical energy INCLUDING that which is used for respiration by the plant. Net primary productivity = rate at which solar energy is converted to chemical energy as plant biomass. (i.e. AFTER respiration has been deducted). Biogeochemical cycling— Water cycle we modify in many ways: 1) Removal of groundwater at a f
