Quick Review: What is evolution? A change in a species over a long period of time Newer species form from older species   UNIT 4: Evolution How do changes in the environment lead to changes in populations? SB5d. Relate natural selection to changes in organisms.

Natural selection Who attempted to explain evolution? A scientist, Charles Darwin is considered to be the founder of modern evolutionary theory His research studied finches and the different shapes of their beaks, depending on which island they lived on and what resources they had to survive.

Natural selection Darwin developed the theory of natural selection, which is a process by which organisms with favorable variations for a particular environment survive, reproduce and pass these variations on to the next generation “Survival of the fittest”

Lamarck Many theories prior to Darwin existed on how life came about and how organisms adapt to their environment. Lamarck: organisms change because they want to better themselves and become more fit for their environment. Use and Disuse: Lamarck believed that change occurred because organisms could alter their shape by using their bodies in different ways or not using a body part. Ex. Giraffes neck Acquired traits: acquired traits were inherited. Ex. Weight lifters and their muscle mass.

Lamarck vs. Darwin

Natural selection 3 Principles that explain how natural selection occurs 1. Overproduction Populations produce more offspring than the environment can support (or carry)

Natural selection 2. Reproductive Advantage When the environment cannot support the overproduction of offspring, this leads to a competition/struggle, with only a portion of the offspring surviving (survival of the fittest)

Natural selection 3. Variation There is great variation(diversity) among individuals in a population The individuals that have the BEST traits for their environment survive and produce more offspring-fitness Natural selection

Natural selection * Population: a group of organisms of 1) one species 2) living in the same place, 3) at the same time4) that have the ability to reproduce (mate) * members of the same population compete with one another for food, water, shelter, and mates

Natural selection Adaptations can lead to evolution What is an adaptation? A mutation in DNA that leads to a special trait or behavior that help an organism survive better in its environment,

Natural selection What determines the rate at which a species evolve? An unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce leads to a gradual change in a population The more quickly a species reproduces, the more quickly it can evolve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEwzDydciWc

Natural selection THE ORGANISM: Biston betularia is the scientific name for a moth that lives in forested areas of England. The moth is commonly known as the “Peppered Moth.” Usually most moths are light in color, with a few black specks. However, a few individuals show a different color pattern, being dark gray in color. The moth frequently becomes the prey of various types of birds. THE ENVIRONMENT: The Peppered Moth usually lives in forests where the tree trunks are heavily covered with light colored lichens (plant-like organisms), which makes the bark of the tree appear to have a very light color. However, since the start of the Industrial Revolution, burning large amounts of coal and oil has coated forests near urban areas with a layer of dark soot.

Evolution practice In a specific population of salmon, one variety that exists is larger teeth, which allows some individuals in the population of salmon to survive better than others. The population density for the salmon with this adaptation is shown to be increasing each year, whereas the population of the small teeth salmon appear to be decreasing. Using Darwin’s theory of evolution, how did natural selection cause changes in the salmon population?
