Variation in mortality: grey squirrels Requirements for natural selection Mass 200 g Mate 2x / year 4-8 offspring per litter Mass of earth: 5.97 x 1027 g Assume reproduction starts at 6 months (9 in reality) Assume adults die after 2 litters (20 years in zoos) How long until squirrels equal mass of earth? 1 28 24 35 20 16 30 12 25 8 4 20 0 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 15 28 24 10 20 16 5 12 8 0 4 0 0 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 23 Galen, Zimmer and Newport, 1987.

Men who dive for pearls evolve to have a larger lung capacity. Some species, such as elephants, have only one offspring every five years. This evolved to protect the species from the problems of overpopulation. When the immune system can successfully fight off a disease, new mutations arise that may allow the disease to elude the immune system. [Advanced: why can’t you substitute “groups” for “individuals” in evolutionary longhand and get evolution of groups?] Cannings and Cannings. 1999. 5 References Cannings, R. and Cannings, S. 1999.
