1 Ch 23: Understanding Diversity: Systematics

2 phylogeny systematics taxonomy taxon

3 How to categorize life? life vs. non-life (?prehistory) plants (non-motile) vs. animals (motile) Greek philosophers including Aristotle (born 384 - died 322 BC)

4 add Protista/Protoctista & sub-group Monera (Haeckel 1866) prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells (Chatton 1937)

5 reorganized classification into 4 kingdoms (Copeland 1930s?) 5 kingdoms; adding Fungi (Whittaker 1959)

6 3 domains (Carl Woese 1977) Carol J. Bult

7 further elaborated by Mitchell Sogin (early eukaryotes) & many others

8 -> 6 kingdoms (compromise) still argued: Lake’s 4 domains, Cavalier-Smith & others’ > 6 kingdoms

9 horizontal gene transfers genome fusions clades?

10 Groups of organisms on a phylogenetic tree (excluded)

11 Homologous structures 18-13 terrestrial vertebrate forelimbs 18-14 modified leaves

12 Australian marsupial “mole” N American placental mole Homoplasies = analogous structures 18-16 spiky plant parts

13 Phenetics/evolutionary systematics numerical taxonomy eg: Birds -> different enough to be a separate class from reptiles

14 Cladistic systematics clade cladogram synapomorphy vs. (sym)plesiomorphy outgroup parsimony eg: Birds -> sub-group of Reptile class

15 Morphology

16 Morphology: Developmental data eg: early animal embryo cleavage (30-5)

17 Biochemistry: Lipids 2 species of Pseudomonas

18 Biochemistry: Proteins eg: Isozyme patterns from a fungus

19 Biochemistry: Proteins eg: amino acid sequence comparison

20 myoglobin Biochemistry: Proteins eg: 3D structure comparison

21 Relationships between canids using DNA sequences Biochemistry: DNA Sequence analysis

22 Stoneking, et al. Mitochondrial DNA study of humans

23 2 representations of the same data

24 Phylogram - shows genetic change Ultrametric tree - shows time Other kinds of trees

25 Methods of generating trees Distance Parsimony Maximum likelihood
