What distinguishes them in the fossil record? To which generalized group does each line lead? Then... 26
27 Paleozoic Era: Permian Period The end-permian event that occurred 250 million years ago triggered an abrupt shift to the current dominance of higher-metabolism, mobile organisms (such as snails, clams and crabs) that actually go out and find their own food, and the decreased diversity of older groups of low-metabolism, stationary organisms (such as lamp shells and sea lilies) that filter nutrients from the water.

34 Geologic Time You don't have this slide. I simply wanted you to view (and review) the geologic time scale as a whole. 34
35 Patterns of Macroevolution Extinction How many mass extinctions were there? Is extinction the exception, or the rule? Use the geologic time scale on the previous slide and/or the figure at right to label the geologic Period that corresponds to each extinction event. Do we know what caused all of these? Explain the effect extinction has had on biodiversity and the dominant species. (You don't have this.) 35

37 Convergent Evolution Vertebrate (left) and Octopus (right). Define convergent evolution. Define analogous structure. Explain how each figure above is an example of convergent evolution. 37
38 Coevolution Some Central American Acacia species have hollow thorns and pores at the base of their leaves that secrete nectar. These hollow thorns are the exclusive nest-site of some species of ant that drink the nectar. But the ants are not just taking advantage of the plant they also defend their acacia plant against herbivores. Define coevolution. Explain how each figure above is an example of coevolution. Coevolution stems from what ecological relationship? 38
39 Punctuated Equilibrium Study the figure and read the captions... Compare and contrast these models that attempt to describe evolutionary rates. Evaluate each of these models... Explain which model you think is the most accurate. Time (a) Gradualism model. Species descended from a common ancestor gradually diverge more and more in their morphology as they acquire unique adaptations. (b) Punctuated equilibrium model. A new species changes most as it buds from a parent species and then changes little for the rest of its existence. 39
40 Developmental Genes and Body Plans Ancient Insect Two Types of Modern Insects Review homeobox (HOX) genes. Explain how a mutation in one HOX gene could explain the evolution shown in the example above. Describe how mutations effecting the location, timing and duration in the expression of single genes can result in profound physical changes. Apply this knowledge to explain how the difference between human and chimpanzee brains may have evolved. What experimental evidence would support this hypothesis? 40
