10.) Describe are the characteristics that make the Florida Scrub Jay unique.

# data[].attributes.body
- Restricted to the rare oak scrub community of Florida (Endemic to Florida)
-Classified as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act
-Originated in the desert of the

southwest
-Adapted for life on ground

where it scratches for acrons,

seeds, inscets, lizards, and

small snakes
-Relatives help eachother out

9.Why have Lake Placid Wolf Spiders NOT developed the "ballooning" behavior that their fellow wolf spiders have?

# data[].attributes.body
- Ballooning is when the spiders hang glide to disperse
-Not a good adaption to begin with
-They began to be separated by formation of river
-Reproductive isolation
-The gene eventually got weeded out

-potential refugees to coastal species when the seas rise
-important to understanding evolution because they have lots of species that are near extinction
-"gold mine for genetic info"

8.) Describe the mutualistic relationship that the Florida Scrub Millipede and the Pygmy Mole Cricket have.

# data[].attributes.body
-it clears the sand of leaves to allow sunlight to go through the sand where the algae is
-this is the main food source for the mole cricket

-it is very good at camouflaging
-stays still during the daytime

6.Describe, in detail, specific ways specific plants use chemicals to manipulate their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
-Florida rosemary uses a waxy coating on leaves that leads to less water lost through transpiration
-The rosemary also produces insect repellants that help them

withstand insect predation
-Some shrubs produce

chemicals that, when leached

into the soil inhibit the growth

of other competing plants

# data[].attributes.body
-2 kinds of roots allow woody shrubs to retain water around the plant
-waxy coats prevent plants from evaporation
-roots interweave to share and keep water

1.) Describe the geological processes that allowed the Interior Scrub to form.

# data[].attributes.body
-sea levels start to fall and the sea is withdrawing
-the winds build up
-once the sea level has fallen the wind carries the sand to create dunes/sandhills
