3 Early classification schemes Fish & whales Flies & birds Frogs & alligators Squirrels & monkeys Swim in water Fly in air Crawl in mud Climb in trees

4 Early classification schemes Honeybee: Apis pubescens, thorace subgriseo, abdomine fusco, pedibus posticis glabris utrinque margine ciliatis Apis mellifera

10 Phylogenetic trees are a visual representation of the fact that species are related by descent from a common ancestor

11 Phylogeny Anagensis (phyletic evolution) - successional changes within a single lineage Cladogenesis (phylogenetic branching) - splits along ancestral line that cause species multiplication (ie. appearance of new clades, clusters of species)

12 homology - same feature in different species, derived from common ancestor parallelism - similar feature occurs in different species, but common ancestor was different convergence - similar feature arose independently in different species

13

14 Monophyletic - organisms derive from a single ancestral population Paraphyletic - does not include all descendents from the ancestral population Polyphyletic - organisms arrived independently at a particular grade of organization Phylogeny

16 MonophyleticParaphyletic

17 Paraphyletic groups

18 Phenetics - applies numerical taxonomy to arranging groups into genera & higher ranks Cladistics - every significant evolutionary step marks a dichotomous branch Evolutionary classification - incorporates genealogical relationship between groups with evolutionary distance Phylogeny

24 Synapomorphies arise at evolutionary branch points

25 Taxonomy Characters must be independent homologous Evolutionary relationships only revealed by shared, derived traits = synapomorphies

29 Principles of evolutionary change, inferred from systematics 1 homologous features are derived from common ancestors

30 Principles of evolutionary change, inferred from systematics 1 homologous features are derived from common ancestors 2 homoplasy is common in evolution

31 Convergent evolution (convergence) Parallel evolution (parallelism) Evolutionary reversals Homoplasy

32 Principles of evolutionary change, inferred from systematics 1 homologous features are derived from common ancestors 2 homoplasy is common in evolution 3 rates of character evolution differ

33 Principles of evolutionary change, inferred from systematics 1 homologous features are derived from common ancestors 2 homoplasy is common in evolution 3 rates of character evolution differ 4 evolution is often gradual

34 Principles of evolutionary change, inferred from systematics 1 homologous features are derived from common ancestors 2 homoplasy is common in evolution 3 rates of character evolution differ 4 evolution is often gradual 5 characteristics often owe their change in form to change in function

35 Principles of evolutionary change, inferred from systematics 1 homologous features are derived from common ancestors 2 homoplasy is common in evolution 3 rates of character evolution differ 4 evolution is often gradual 5 characteristics often owe their change in form to change in function 6 phylogenetic analysis documents evolutionary trends
