1
Systematics Study of the diversity of organisms to classify them and determine their evolutionary relationships Taxonomy: naming, identifying and classifying of species created by C Linnaeus
2
Taxonomy: Classification of Species Binomial system: all species have a 2 part name consisting of genus + specific epithet (usually latin) Domain*Eukarya *least specific, includes all others Kingdom Animalia PhylumChordata ClassMammalia OrderPrimates FamilyHominidae GenusHomo Species**H. Sapiens **most specific
3
Taxonomy: Classification of Species
4
Phylogenetic Trees Evolutionary tree showing common ancestors Divergence occurs due to derived traits traits not previously not seen
5
Phylogenetic Trees Species are most closely related to other species in same genus More distantly related to those of different families, orders
6
Cladistic Phylogenetic Trees A method of tracing evolutionary history of a group by using shared traits derived from a common ancestor to determine which species are most closely related Cladogram Outgroup not part of the group being studied Ingroup group being studied
7
Cladistic Phylogenetic Trees Which organism(s) have gizzards? Which organism (s) have an amniotic egg? Which organism has the most traits in common? The least?
8
Which of the Groupings Below is a True Cladogram? Explain why or why not each is or is not a true clade: a single common ancestor and all its descendents that share one or more shared derived traits.
9
Monophyletic grouping: a single ancestor gave rise to all species in that taxon and no other taxon Polyphyletic grouping: members of the taxon are derived from 2 or more ancestral forms not common to all members Paraphyletic grouping: a taxon excluding species that share a common ancestor that gave rise to the species included in the taxon
10
Tracing Phylogeny Fossil records and Behavior are used to determine relationships/common ancestors
11
Tracing Phylogeny: Morphological Data Homologous structures similar due to common descent – Developmental studies Convergent evolution distantly related species have same structure because developed in same environment Analogous structures same function without common ancestor
12
Tracing Phylogeny: Molecular Data Protein and DNA/RNA comparisons can be used to determine relationships/common ancestors Compare mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) high mutation rate Molecular Clocks study neutral changes in DNA that accumulate at a constant rate; used with fossil common ancestor
13
3 Domain System Archae, Bacteria, Eukarya
14
3 Domain System
15
Which are prokaryotic? Eukaryotic? Unicellular or multicelled? Heterotrophic or autotrophic? Which have cell walls?
16
3 Domain System
