e, that can fly or walk from plant to plant and that feeds by chewing leaves. Given that the beetle is not exploiting all of the resources on the island, which morphological change would be most likely to trigger an adaptive radiation of the beetles?

Answer:

It can change mouthparts, the antennae, wings, or claws.

Explanation:

The beetle is an insect that is feed by plants, of course it will prefer some plants over another, but depending the plants that surround it can change some of its body parts.

The mouth parts can change because if the leaves are thinner or thicker the mouth as the claws can get smaller or larger depending the needs.

Also if the plants are colorful or they have strong aromas, the antennae can grow or get smaller to reach the plants.

The distance among the plants, also can influence in the size of the wings, because maybe this beetle need to fly long distances between one plant and another.

1. What characteristics do the mountains in a mountain range have in common?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Mountains are prominent landforms that have significant heights above sea level and/or the surrounding land. They are steeper than hills. A mountain or mountain range usually has a peak, which is a pointed top. Mountains have different climates than land at sea level and nearby flat land. Climate is the weather over an extended time period for a specific area. The climate of mountains tends to include colder weather, wetter weather, and thinner air. Thin air refers to the fact that at the higher altitudes of a mountain there is less oxygen to breathe. Also, mountains generally have less hospitable conditions for plants and animals. This leads to quite different evolutionary adaptations for those plants and animals that make higher elevations their home.
