The significance of elephants can be characterized as them being a Keystone species. Keystone species are usually considered to be species which have a extremely largy impact on a certain ecological niche or certain environment compared to their relative presence in that environment. In other words, while elephants aren't exactly the most numerous of species, they represent an important element of their environment which also effects other animals.

Why do land plants need to conserve water
erastova [34]

Answer: Some arid-climate plants are able to conserve water because of their reduced leaf size. Less leaf surface area results in reduced water loss through the epidermis. Small leaves have fewer stomata than larger leaves, and that adaptation also reduces water loss.

The Phylogeny chart shows the evolution of camels. Camelus is the modern day cameo based on this chart which three statements ar
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

  1. Modern camels are more related to Camelops than to Aepycamelus.
  2. Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus may share similar feautres.
  3. Procamelus and Stenomylous may share similar features.

Explanation:

The chart given explains how the camels are evolved between Eocene (33 myo) and Pleistocene.

  1. According to the chart, modern-day camels (Camelus) are a closer phylogenetic relative of Camelops because they are clustered together in the Pleistocene age section. However, Aepycamelus is last recorded in the Upper Miocene and later became extinct (or no record is found in Pliocene and Pleistocene).
  2. Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus have a single ancestor "Protylopus" which can be seen in the Eocene age. Although Protylopus were branched to two species in upper Miocene, it is not difficult to believe that they share many genetic similarities (features) in both lineages.
  3. Similarly, Procamelus and Stenomylous are the descendants of Poebrotherium and got apart at the end of the Oligocene, therefore, they will also share several features similar to each other.
