Manila Biology

Luis Mojica has ventured a long way across the pond. He's visiting relatives and family in Manila, Philipines for a week or so.

So, here the question I posed to him as he sees a different part of the planet from Minnesota: how do life forms vary from what we have in Minnesota?

Then think about evolution. How has nature selected for the organisms they find there? Head back to the LEARNING TARGETS for the Big Idea of Evolution.

Revisit the target  1.0 I can evaluate evidence provided by data to investigate the role of natural selection in evolution.

Luis is going to post some pictures of plants and animals that he's found in Manila and explain how nature has selected these form for a different climate from Minnesota. What adaptations allow these organism to survive in a tropical environment?
