Concentrations of this toxin are found in the ant as well as in the lizard and the bird, as they are part of the same food chain. The lizard eats ants and the bird eats the lizard. This phenomenon is called biomagnification.

Biomagnification refers to the cumulative increase in concentrations of a persistent substance as one moves up the food chain (trophic chain).

Biomagnification is therefore a process in which the concentration of a substance present in a biotope increases throughout a food chain; by extension, the result of this process.

nordsb [41]

a. parsimony; simplest; fewest

When selecting among multiple possible phylogenetic trees that fit our data, we commonly use the principle of <u>parsimony</u>, which means we choose the <u>simplest</u> possible hypothesis. In phylogenetic analysis, that means selecting the tree that represents the <u>fewest</u> evolutionary changes or mutations.

Explanation:

Phylogeny describes the evolutionary history of on organism or group of organisms.  

A phylogenetic tree structure is used to describe the relationship between various organisms which have originated from common ancestors.  

The Principle of Parsimony is best applied while constructing phylogenetic tree.  

This principle emphasizes on simple observations on a phylogeny which requires only few changes or variations which explain for the difference between the phylogenic sequences.  

This tree structure will only have few specific genetic variations or mutations or evolutionary changes which took place through new appearance of a trait or disappearance of an existing trait.
