1 3 Domains of Living Things Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotic organisms.

2 Taxonomic Levels The taxonomic levels (from most diverse to most specific) are: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species A mnemonic device to remember this order is: King Phillip Cooked Old Fashioned Good Spaghetti Or

3 Eubacteria Archaebacteria Protists Plants Fungi Animals Kingdoms of Living Things

5 What is a Species? Species: a group of organisms that can potentially. Hybrids: Some cases where different species are similar enough genetically that they can produce offspring, but the offspring is generally infertile. Example: horses and donkeys can interbreed to produce infertile mules.

6 Biologist estimate that 10% of animals and 25% of plants may occasionally interbred. These hybrid offspring are generally infertile because the two species have different chromosome numbers and lengths. So the hybrids are reproductive/ evolutionary dead-ends. Most species have mechanisms to prevent interspecies mating: such as behavior isolation (including courtship rituals) or distinct coloration patterns. However, genetically compatible hybrids may occasionally be a source of genetic diversity. New York Times article on hybrids

7 Each species is assigned a scientific name consisting of genus and species names written in italics or underlined. The genus name is capitalized and the species name is lower case. Examples: Ursus horribilis is a grizzly bear Taraxacum officinale is a dandelion

8 Evolution: the change in a population's genetic makeup through successive generations. Four processes drive microevolution: Mutation: random changes in the sequence of DNA molecules that serve as the ultimate source of genetic variation; Natural selection: the process by which some individuals of a population have genetically based characteristics that cause them to & than other individuals;

9 Four processes drive evolution (Cont.): Gene flow: the movement of genes between populations (migration into or out of a region); Immigration= movement Emigration = movement

10 Four processes drive evolution (Cont.): Genetic drift: change in genetic composition that results by, especially in populations. Unlike natural selection, genetic drift does NOT necessarily result in a population better suited to its environment. Example: Founder Effect: loss/change in genetic variation when a colony is settled by a. Ex.: Polydactyly more common for the PA Amish.

11 Video: Genetic Drift The prevalence of achromatopsia (inability to see any color) is 1 in 33,000 worldwide. On the island of Pingelap, 1 in 10 people have achromatopsia. Start video at 4:42

12 Natural Selection Three conditions required for natural selection: Variability: there must be natural variation for a trait within a population Heritability: there has to be a genetic basis for the trait to be passed from generation to generation; Differential reproduction: the trait must enable individuals with the trait to leave more offspring than other members of the population.

13 Natural selection leads to adaptation Adaptation: a heritable trait that enables organisms to better survive & reproduce within a given set of environmental conditions.

14 Limitations to Adaptation Adaptations can only occur if favorable traits exist in the gene pool. Because organisms must do many things, adaptations are usually compromises. A population s ability to adapt is limited by its reproductive capacity. (Species with faster reproductive rate may be able to adapt more quickly because they can go through more generations.)

15 Example of Natural Selection A group of bacteria, including genetically resistant ones, are exposed to an antibiotic Most of the normal bacteria die The genetically resistant bacteria start multiplying Eventually the resistant strain replaces the strain affected by the antibiotic Normal bacterium Resistant bacterium

16 Types of Natural Selection Directional selection: favors individuals with traits that are at one end of a distribution (such as the peppered moth example). "It pays to be different."

17 Stabilizing selection: Types of Natural Selection eliminates individuals at both ends of the spectrum of variation; the average remains the same. "It pays to be average."

18 Types of Natural Selection Diversifying (or disruptive) selection: eliminates average individuals, but favors individuals at either extreme of the spectrum of variation. "It doesn't pay to be normal."

19 Go through the next 5 slides with your table partner to classify different processes in evolution

20 Discuss with your table partner: A group of 20 people establish a new population on an uninhabited island in Micronesia. 90% of the group has blood type A, compared to 20% of the mainland population.

21 A species of begonias has a normal distribution (bell shaped curve) of flowering times during the summer, with the average flowering time of August. The summer heat begins to cause the pollinators to be less active during August causing these plants be less likely to be successfully reproduced during this time. Which type of selective pressure is this, and how could the distribution graph change?.

22 In cold climates, smaller birds are not able to retain heat as well as larger birds (due to their higher surface area to volume ratio). If a population of birds migrates to a colder climate, which type of selection pressure would be acting on them and how could their distribution change?.

23 A species of dragonflies has an average wing length of 2 inches. A population of these dragonflies lives on an island where strong winds cause the flies with longer wings to be blown out to sea. Which type of selection is this and what could happen to the distribution graph?

24 In a chimpanzee population, babies born with too low a birth weight are likely to die, and babies with too high a birth weight could result in the birthing complication that result in the death of the mother and baby. Which type of selection pressure exists on this population, and how will it affect the distribution?

25 Speciation & Biodiversity Divergent evolution is the accumulation of differences between populations. Divergence can lead to. new species typically evolve by two processes: geographic isolation separation into distinct populations with different evolutionary pressures; reproductive isolation evolutionary changes in each population that prevent interbreeding when populations come into contact.

26 Coevolution Coevolution involves interactions between two species that result in ongoing evolutionary changes in each of the species.

27 Coevolution can result in changes that benefit both species in a. Example: An Andean bat has an 8.5 cm tongue to feed on nectar from deep tubular flowers. Flower has the advantage of a specialized pollinator and the bat has the advantage of not having competitors for food.

28

29 Coevolution can also be an between predator and prey. Examples: Toxins, thorns, camouflage coloration, etc.

30 Coevolution: A Langohrfledermaus Bat Hunting a Moth

31 Video: Hoover flies and Irises Coevolution (David Attenborough 2 minutes) QtRI9o Video: Bats and Moths Coevolution (Triumph of Nature 7 minutes)

32 Discuss with your table partner: Convergent evolution results in the similarities between species from different taxonomic groups (i.e. more distantly related). Anteaters and aardvarks look similar even though their closer relatives don t have the same long snout. Whales have similar shape to fish even though they evolved from land mammals. What would cause convergent evolution?

33 Discuss with your table partner: Review the difference between coevolution and convergent evolution. Think of examples of each (besides the ones already discussed). Which process could result in symbiotic relationships? Which could result in specialists? Which could occur in species that are in separate ecosystems?

34 Misconceptions about Evolution Survival of the fittest does not necessarily mean survival of the strongest. Fitness to biologist is a measure of, the fittest are those that leave the most surviving descendants and therefore whose genes are passed down most successfully.

35 Misconceptions about Evolution An individual can not evolve, only a population. Natural selection does not always lead to change in one direction.

36 Discuss with your table partner: Below shows a common mistake people make when trying to define evolution. Identify what the problem with the definition is. Natural selection is the process through which species that are stronger survive and other species may become extinct.

37 Adaptive Radiation Adaptive radiation involves splitting of a lineage to form many species in different ecological niches. Often occurs after mass extinction, due to The adaptive radiation of mammals began about 65 million years ago.
