1 Biogeography Chapter 11 History of Lineages and Biotas

2 Figure 11.1 A hypothetical phylogeny, the only illustration Darwin included in The Origin of Species

3 11.2 An evolutionary classification and reconstructed phylogeny of living vertebrates Agnatha – A class of jawless fish Placodermi – Jawless fish with boney protective plates Chondrichthyes – Cartilaginous fish Osteichthyes – Boney fish Aves - Birds

4 Molecular Clocks ► Molecular biologists can use an estimated constant rate of evolution for proteins and DNA to determine the history of lineages. § Still a controversial technique § Calibrated from known fossil record § Tested against other lines of evidence § Can be used as a model for when to search for important fossils.

5 11.8 Diagnostic fossils and rates of molecular divergence demonstrate that divergence from a common ancestor happened 310 million years ago

6 11.8 Diagnostic fossils and rates of molecular divergence. Developing a model to examine the rates of molecular divergence

7 11.9 Phylogeny and estimated divergence times of 12 known linyphiid spiders on the Hawaiian Islands

8 Phylogeography ► Systematics – The study of the evolutionary relationships between organisms ► Monophyletic – A group of organisms that include an ancestral taxon and all of its descendents ► Paraphyletic – A group that includes an ancestral taxon and some but not all of its descendents ► Polyphyletic – A grouping different from above that is an artificial taxon ► Clade – A monophyletic evolutionary branch

10 Figure 11.11 Phylogeography as a bridge between traditionally separate concerns of microevolution

14 11.17 Estimated area of potentially fossil-bearing sedimentary geological strata of varying ages

15 Paleoecology ► Fossils can be used as mileposts along the path of evolution ► Provides a temporal perspective to the changes ecological systems ► Geological provenance can tell us about past environments
