Trees as a Tool to Visualize Evolutionary History Family trees (Charles Darwin http://www.aboutdarwin.com/) Lamarck’s “Tree of Life” (1815) Page B26 from Charles Darwin’s (1809-1882) notebook (1837) Lebensbaum from Ernst Haeckel, 1874 “The tree of life should perhaps be called the coral of life, base of branches dead” PHYLOGENY: from Greek phylon, race or class, and -geneia, born. “the origin and evolution of a set of organisms, usually of a species” (Wikipedia);

Small subunit ribosomal RNA (16S) based tree of life. Carl Woese, George Fox, and many others.

The Tree of Life according to SSU ribosomal RNA (+) strictly bifurcating no reticulation only extant lineages based on a single molecular phylogeny branch length is not proportional to time Eukaryotes Bacteria Archaea Cenancestor (aka MRCA or LUCA) as placed by ancient duplicated genes (ATPases, Signal recognition particles, EF) To Root

The Coral of Life (Darwin) The “Coral of Life” and the transfer of characters from now extinct into surviving lineages

Coalescence – the process of tracing lineages backwards in time to their common ancestors. Every two extant lineages coalesce to their most recent common ancestor. Eventually, all lineages coalesce to the cenancestor. t/2 (Kingman, 1982) Illustration is from J. Felsenstein, “Inferring Phylogenies”, Sinauer, 2003

EXTANT LINEAGES FOR THE SIMULATIONS OF 50 LINEAGES

Lineages Through Time Plot 10 simulations of organismal evolution assuming a constant number of species (200) throughout the simulation; 1 speciation and 1 extinction per time step. (green O) 25 gene histories simulated for each organismal history assuming 1 HGT per 10 speciation events (red x) log (number of surviving lineages) green: organismal lineages ; red: molecular lineages (with gene transfer)

The deviation from the “long branches at the base” pattern could be due to under sampling an actual radiation due to an invention that was not transferred following a mass extinction Bacterial 16SrRNA based phylogeny (from P. D. Schloss and J. Handelsman, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, December 2004.)
