History of Biological Diversity Evolution: Darwin’s travel Developing the Theory of Evolution The Galápagos Islands • Darwin noticed that the different islands all seemed to have their own, slightly different varieties of animals. • Somewhat similar species that suited their particular environment. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection Origin of Species: Darwin’s Book In 1859 On the Origin of Species presented evidence and proposed a mechanism for evolution that he called natural selection. • Today, scientists use evolution to mean cumulative change in a group of organisms through time. • Natural selection is not synonymous with evolution – it is a mechanism by which evolution occurs. • Artificial selection: (instead of natural) humans select which organism get to reproduce and pass on genes Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection Peppered Moth: Natural Selection • The light colored form was the predominant form in England prior to the Industrial Revolution. • Around the middle of the 19th century the darker form began to appear. It was first reported in 1848. By 1895 98% of the moths in Manchester were the dark variety. • In recent years, the burning of cleaner fuels and Clean Air regulations has reduced the pollution there and the lighter colored moths have increased in numbers. First 6 Minutes Types of Selection: a. Artificial Selection – humans select for variations in plants and animals that they find useful. b. Natural Selection – also means “Survival of the Fittest”. - Fitness in this sense does not mean strongest. - Fitness in Darwin terms means reproduction. The one who survives long enough to reproduce the most is the one with the highest fitness. Types of Natural Selection -Evolution acts on the phenotype of the individual, not the genotype. - There are 4 types of selection that can occur on a population. 1. Directional Selection – when individuals at one end of the curve have a higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end of the curve. 2. Stabilizing Selection – when individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the curve, narrowing of the graph. 3. Disruptive Selection – when individuals at either end have a higher fitness and individual near the middle of the curve are selected against. - Over time with enough selection a population can go through genetic drift. a. genetic drift – random change in allele frequency. 4. Sexual Selection: the ability to attract a mate HOMEWORK PAP and Academic Support for Evolution • Evidence for evolution comes from: 1. The fossil record: remains in layers of rock 2. Comparative anatomy a. Analogous structures b. Homologous Structures c. Vestigial Structures 3. Comparative embryology 4. Comparative biochemistry 5. Geographic distribution Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution 1. Support of Evolution: Fossil Record • Fossil Record – Fossils are the remains of ancient organisms found in layers of rock in the Earth. Support of Evolution • The layers of rock tell the history of the Earth, while the fossils found within the rock tell a history of life. • The fossils are thought to be the same age as the rock they are found in. Support for Evolution: The fossil Record • Researchers consider two major classes of traits when studying transitional fossils: • Derived traits are newly evolved features, such as feathers, that do not appear in the fossils of common ancestors. • Ancestral traits are more primitive features, such as teeth and tails, that do appear in ancestral forms. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution 2. Support for Evolution: Comparative Anatomy • A. Homologous structures are anatomically similar structures inherited from a common ancestor. • Similar structures with different function (similar bones) (common ancestor) Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution Support for Evolution Comparative anatomy • B. Analogous structures can be used for the same purpose and be superficially similar in construction, but are not inherited from a common ancestor. • Structures are different but have similar function. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution Support for Evolution Comparative anatomy • C. Vestigial structures are structures that are the reduced forms of functional structures in other organisms. • Evolutionary theory predicts that features of ancestors that no longer have a function for that species will become smaller over time until they are lost. snake pelvis Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education human appendix Evidence of Evolution 3. Support for Evolution: Comparative embryology • Embryos of many animals with back-bones are very similar. 4. Support for Evolution: Comparative Biochemistry • Common ancestry can be seen in the complex metabolic molecules that many different organisms share. • The more closely related species are to each other, the greater the biochemical similarity. Similarities in DNA and protein sequences suggest relatedness. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution 5. Support for Evolution: Geographic distribution • The distribution of plants and animals that Darwin studied were what first suggested evolution to him. • The distribution of plants and animals around the world is studied in the field of biogeography. • Evolution is linked to migration patterns, climate, and geological forces (such as plate tectonics). Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution Adaptation- an inherited trait that increases a population’s chance of survival and reproduction in a particular environment • Fitness is a measure of the relative contribution an individual trait makes to the next generation. • The better an organism is adapted to its environment, the greater its chances of survival and reproductive success. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution • Through adaptations, populations often become suited to a specific job called a niche. • 1. niche – the role a population plays in a habitat - job, profession, role • 2. Competition arises when 2 populations occupy the same niche. Camouflage Adaptation Types of adaptations • Camouflage is a suite of morphological adaptations that allow an organism to blend into its environment. • Mimicry is a type of morphological adaptation where a species evolves to resemble another species. Mimicry • Antimicrobial resistance develops in some bacteria in response to sublethal exposure to antibiotics. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Evidence of Evolution Can you find the hidden animals?

Population – a group of interbreeding organisms (a species) living in a given area B. Gene Pool – combined genetic material of all the members of a population C. Gene Flow-the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. D. Genetic Drift- any change in the allelic frequency in a population that results from chance. E. Allele – forms that a gene can take F. Allele Frequency – the number of each allele for a trait This “changing of the gene pool” (allele frequency) has a name —› Evolution. Evolution – the changes in the gene pool of a population over time. Speciation – formation of a new species 1. Reproductive Isolation - 2 or more species cannot interbreed 2. Geographic /Allopatric Isolation - 2 populations are separated by geographic barriers ●examples: rivers, mountains, bodies of water Types of Evolution Convergent Evolution: less alike to more alike Divergent Evolution=Adaptive Radiation: more alike to less alike Coevolution: evolve together Punctuated equilibrium: happens in short period of time Convergent Evolution: Occurs when different organisms that live in similar environments become more alike in appearance and behavior. Less alike to more alike Examples: - Bird wings/insect wings - Shark fins/dolphin fins Draw the diagram in Notes Divergent Evolution=Adaptive Radiation One species gives rise to many species More alike to less alike Also known as adaptive radiation. Examples: - Darwin’s Finches. - Brown bears and polar bears Draw this diagram in notes Coevolution Co-evolution occurs when, two or more organisms evolve together. Gradual equilibrium Predicts that little of evolutionary change takes place in small gradual steps. Punctuated equilibrium predicts that a lot of evolutionary change takes place in short periods of time tied to speciation events. Charts to compare evolutionary relationships: Cladogram: a chart that is composed of many different clades or branches. It is similar to a family tree as it has many different branches, but it is set up in a slightly different format than a typical tree. Organisms listed are all related, but the cladogram depicts the successive points of species divergence from common ancestral lines. Cladogram Example: Which species developed first: Ferns or Mosses? How long ago was the development of vascular tissue? Assuming this cladogram is correct, would we find a fossil for a fern that is in rock 425 million years old? Charts to compare evolutionary relationships: Dendrogram – a branching diagram representing a hierarchy of categories based on degree of similarity or number of shared characteristics, especially in biological taxonomy. Dendrogram Example: Who is most closely related to the Brown bear? Who is furthest related to the Brown bear? Who is most closely related to the Lesser panda?
