C4 photosynthesis is a complex trait resulting from a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications to the ancestral C3 pathway. It is thought to evolve in a stepwise manner, creating intermediates with different combinations of C4 -like components. Determining the adaptive value of these components is key to understanding how C4 photosynthesis can gradually assemble through natural selection.

- * The dynamics of grazing lawns depend on environmental factors like rainfall, soil nutrients, and grazing pressure, which influence both the establishment and maintenance of these habitats.
- * Different grazers play significant roles in shaping grazing lawns, as not all are suitable for short-grass areas; their body size and feeding adaptations affect how they convert tall grasses into low-biomass swards.
