Evolution Of Life By Niche

 
BY PROFESSION:
ok, bar what are the basic niches:
ok, i got over a 100 niches 113.  now pick an interesting critter for each.  and we've got our organisms for biobook.

you know once i get to specific organisms the niches will multiply!  same variety of niches for each clade.  arggh.

you know, if you make this the narrative, you can include all the biology concepts into it.  hmm

autolithotrophs
seavents
photosyntetic lithotrophs H2S back to S8
bacts that oxidize S sequester CaSo4 back to sediments
photosynthetic cyanos fix C, fix N
stromatolites
mud
anoxic mud
deep rock
plankton
methanogen release C
bacts that oxidize N
which bact turns NO3 back to N2
cyanos make strands
bdellovibrios
bacts engulf each other and become euks
photosynthitic single cells pick some photos
diatoms sequester SiO4
cells engulph photos, herbivors  pick some examples
cells engulph herbivores food chains
detrivors bacts and any euks?
littoral zone
invade fresh water
cyanos can live on land?  who can live on rocks?
coccolithophores fix CaCO3
fungi like critters invade cells
fungi like critters invade multicells
chytrids invade fungi like critters who invade multicells..
filter feeders
euks begin multicell: algae,
alternation of life cycles: benthic algae, planktonic dispersal
algae begin fixing CaCO3 to stromatolite reefs
ciliates eat algae filiments
forams live in benthos collecting debris, critters
animals
filter feeders sponges
tentacles hydra
corals engulf dinos start reef building in earnest
grazers of multicell algae,
who eats corals?
food chains get longer
shells and claws
metamorphosis: between plankton for spreading and benthos/ littoral for living
seeweeds climb up the littoral zone
fast large swimmers fish amonites
fish schools
sociality
many animals invent large egg gambit, care for young
live in mud filter feed
symbiotes inside multicell animals
parasites of all kinds of cells
single cells and algae and animals invade freshwater: homeostasis
fungal detrivors
do lichens evolve with single celled algae BEFORE Ulvophytes invade land?
nitrogen fixing lichens
arthropods invade land to fly to new ponds
arthropods invent flying
fishapods invade land to find new ponds and oxygen
fishapods eat arthropods
arthropod predators
arthropod herbivors
spiders invent aireal filter feeding
Ulvophytes and fungi invade land mycorrhyza, create hypersea
single cell parasites that live in plant hypersea
building up of soil
nitrogen fixing plant symbioses
produce wood
fungi degest wood
fungi live in plants
fungi invade plants
fungi invade insects
termites invent gut flora chew wood digest it
lichen that lives in antarctic rocks
forests
tree climbers
tree grazers
fishapods become herbivors
cyanos, lichens live on tree bark
detrivors churn soil
many phyla invade land: planaria, nematodes, mollusks, earthworms, tardigrads, onychophorans,
nematodes invade plants
fungi invade nematodes
decide how to divide up the different types of symbiotes
single celled parasites that live in animal hypersea
multicelled parasites that live in animal hypersea
multihost parasites
meadows?
galling
leaf mining
narrow diet
omnivores
burrowing animals
tree nesting
dinos fly
dinos go back to the sea
seed dispersers
pollen?
pollenators?
larvae develop in developing seeds
flowers/pollinators/seed dispersers
hymeno parasitoids invade plants, insects each other
social insects! ants and termites take over land
pollen eating bees become social
now meadows!
grass invent fire cleared prairies
dinosaurs invent flying: birds
warm blooded verts invade the night: mammals
mammals invent placentas live young
animals invent large egg gambit take care of young
sociality in land animals
grass grazing
mammals learn to fly: bats
mammals go back to the sea: cetaceans
big brains carnivores, apes, cetaceans
humans and grasses invent agriculture spread over the earth
