how did continental drift influence modwrn day species distributions? modern**
Homework Answers
Initially, before continental drift, every land on earth was together and was called Pangea. But several millions of years later, continental drift happened and several species isolated in some continents making no gene flow between them. It created an event of speciation. This a type of vicariant speciation.
Species that we are seeing today are resulted by either these vicariant speciation events or speciation by dispersal.

Due to continental drift, the North American and European continents are drifting apart at an average speed of about 3.0 cm per year. Convert this continental speed to inch/day (1 in = 2.54 cm; 1 year = 365 days). 431.10 in/day 0.0208 in/day O 0.0032 in/day 214.33 in/day

Due to continental drift, the North American and European continents are drifting apart at an average speed of about 3 cm per year. At this speed, how long (in years) will it take for them to drift apart by another 1238 m?

To determine how climate change and habitat loss will influence Antarctic species, baseline estimates of population sizes and distributions are needed. To this end, a group of researchers estimated the population sizes of all breeding colonies of emperor penguins (Aptenodytes fosteri) along Antarctic coastlines using satellite imagery (Fretwell et al., 2012). For each breeding colony encountered, the researchers determined the latitude, longitude, and area (m2) of the colony, and estimated the total number of emperor penguins present. Then, they compared...

4) Lastly, look at the oldest known ancestor of the modern-day horse, Eohippus, and the domesticate horses we see today a. List the features these 2 species have in common. How have modern day horses retained these traits over the last 55million years? Are they beneficial in some way? Do they not impact survival at all and therefore, natural selection isn't playing a role? Give a brief explanation for each retained trait between these 2 species b. List the features...
