Exploring Biodiversity for Solutions

BioDiversity 1,300,000 species described Likely over 8,000,000 total Wheeler 1990

Some tools for exploring biodiversity Explore trees Target key innovations Identify independent origins Target selective environments Browse natural history records Dig into the literature Ask a biologist

Organizing Life Phylogeny: hypothesized evolutionary relationships among a group of species http://tolweb.org/tree/phylogeny.html

Target Clades with Key Innovations Explore variation in that trait between environments, lineages, etc. Gamble et al 2012 PLoS One

Identify multiple evolutionary origins For a particular trait For solving a particular problem

Target Selective Environments Can you distill your problem into an environment organisms are adapted to?

Browse databases & natural history records What are certain species or lineages really “good at?”
