Ms. Gaynor
Macroevolution
• studies focus on change that occurs at or
above the level of species
▫ The origin of taxonomic groups higher than
species level
How does this occur?
• Evolution of new traits (novelties)
• mass extinctions
• Open adaptive zones (divergent evolution)
• Currently, scientists use
▫ Morphological, biochemical, and molecular
comparisons to infer evolutionary relationships
 Obtained through fossil studies, DNA technology
and current organisms
Phylogeny
What is phylogeny?
• The evolutionary history of a group
• Systematics attempts to reconstruct
phylogeny, by analyzing evolutionary
relatedness.
▫ Use morphological and biochemical similarities
• Molecular systematics uses DNA, RNA and
proteins to infer evolutionary relatedness.
• Different tools are used to reconstruct
phylogenies called phylogentic trees.
Molecular
systematics
Systematics
• Uses evidence from fossil record and
existing organisms to reconstruct
phylogeny
• Uses branching taxonomic categories so
that they reflect phylogeny
• Binomial nomenclature Genus species
keeps identity of organism universal
▫ Other taxa used to classify
 Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family
Genus, species
Taxonomy
Linnaeus ordered
division of
organisms into
categories based
on a set of
characteristics
used to assess
similarities and
differences

• Each branch point
▫ Represents the divergence of two species
Leopard
Domestic cat
Common ancestor
• “Deeper” branch points
▫ Represent progressively greater amounts of
divergence
Wolf
Leopard
Common ancestor
Domestic cat
• A cladogram
▫ a depiction of patterns of shared
characteristics among taxa
• A clade within a cladogram
▫ a group of species that includes an
ancestral species and all its
descendants
• Cladistics
▫ the study of resemblances among
clades
Cladistics
• Cladogram is a tree with
two way branch points
• Each branch point
represents divergence
from common ancestor
• Each branch is called a
clade
• Clades
▫ Can be nested within larger
clades, but not all
groupings or organisms
qualify as clades
• 3 types of groupings
▫ Monophyletic
▫ Polyphyletic
▫ Paraphyletic
Different Types of Clades
• Monophyletic = single ancestor gave rise to all
species in the taxon; ONLY valid clade
• Polyphyletic = includes numerous types of
organisms that lack a common ancestor; not a
valid clade
• Paraphyletic = a grouping that consists of an
ancestral species and some, but not all, of the
descendants; not a valid clade
• Creating the ideal monophyletic taxa is not
always easy.

Let’s practice…
Making “Trees”: Morphological &
molecular homologies
• similarities based on shared ancestries
▫ bone structure
▫ DNA sequences
• beware of analogous structures
 SAME function DIFFERENT development
(opposite of homologous structures)
 This is a result of convergent evolution
Not all Similarities Represent
Common Ancestry
• Homologous structures indicate shared
common ancestry
▫ Homologous structures are therefore
evidence of divergent evolution
• Analogous structures are similar in
function but not in evolutionary history
▫ Analogous structures are evidence of
convergent evolution
• It is not always easy to sort homologous
from analogous structures
Analogous structures or molecular
sequences that evolved independently
Are also called homoplasies
How would you compare the fins in
these 2 organisms?
• RECALL…
• Convergent evolution occurs when similar
environmental pressures and natural selection
▫ Produce similar (analogous) adaptations in
organisms from different evolutionary lineages
Marsupial
Eutherian
(placental)
How do we differentiate between
homologous and analogous
structures?
• Compare embryonic development of the
structures in question
• Compare macromolecules along with
anatomical features called comparative
molecular biochemistry.
Making Evolutionary Life Trees:
Illustrating Phylogeny
• 1. Cladistics = NOT TIME RELATED
▫ sorts homologous from analogous
structures
▫ sorts primitive and shared derived
characteristics
▫ Makes cladograms
• 2. Phenetics = TIME RELATED
▫ compares many biochemical
similarities/ differences (NOT
overall phenotype) to construct
phylogeny
▫ Does not sort homologous from
analogous structures.
• Creates phylogenetic trees or
phylograms
The Universal Tree of Life
• The tree of life is divided into three great clades called
domains:
▫ Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya

• A shared primitive character
▫ a homologous structure that is
shared by all groups we are
trying to define
• A shared derived character
▫ A new evolutionary trait unique
to a particular clade(s)
Shared Derives Characteristics
• Need to differentiate between shared
primitive characters and shared derived
characters
Analogies
All similar
characters
Primitive
(ancestral)
Homologies
Derived
(unique to
a clade)
Outgroups vs. Ingroups
• Outgroup
▫ The species or group of species that is
closely related to the ingroup
▫ Distinguishes between shared primitive
and shared derived characteristics
▫ Closely related to ingroup
• Ingroup
▫ the various species we are studying
A Cladogram
What is the shared primitive characteristic? Notochord
Phylograms
• In a phylogram
▫ The length of a branch in a
cladogram reflects the
number of genetic changes
that have taken place in a
particular DNA or RNA
sequence in that lineage
▫ Involves timing
cladograms do NOT!

Phylogenetic trees are hypotheses
Which is the most parsimonious tree?
Parsimony does not always work, nature
does not always take the simplest
course
