Assignment:

1. Invertebrates provide essential ecosystem services, list 5 different services and an example of an invertebrate that provides it.

2. Using different species as examples, list two common morphological features that predators have evolved for capturing and subduing prey, and two common adaptations that prey have evolved to avoid or defend against their predators.

3. What are anti-microbial peptides and what are they used for by invertebrates? Name two places the in invertebrate body where they are synthesised.

4. Name and describe two mechanisms that desert ants use to regulate their body temperature in hot temperatures.

5. Invertebrates have evolved some interesting morphological behavioural adaptations for mating. Describe ONE morphological and ONE behavioural adaptation, using different species as examples then and explain how these adaptations contribute to the male ensuring his paternity of the offspring.

6. Invertebrates have provided direct solutions, and inspiration, for solving problems that humans have created. Describe a situation, and the innovative solution to a sustainability problem, that an invertebrate has provided.

7. Australian aquatic inverts are highly adapted to boom and bust cycles with water flow. Using different invertebrates as examples, describe TWO common morphological adaptations that species have developed for living in high-flow environments, and TWO common adaptations that invertebrates have evolved for surviving waterless periods.
