1. Adaptation Strategies

2. Analogous Structures
Where species that are not closely related develop similar traits because those traits help them survive in an environment
Homologous structures: structures that are shared by species with a close evolutionary relative (common ancestor)
Both are evidence of evolution – how?

3. Adaptive Radiation
When organisms rapidly evolve in to multiple different forms in order to match different environments or food sources.
i.e. Darwin’s Finches

4. Cryptic Coloration
Coloring that helps an animal camouflage itself in a specific environment.
Can either help an animal blend in, or break up the outline of its body (zebras or tigers)

5. Mimicry
Imitating something to intimidate or confuse predators

6. Aposematic Coloration
Warning colors to notify predators of poison.
