5 Evolution of Animal Diversity
Ch. 1 The Science of Zoology And Evolution of Animal Diversity LECTURE

6 The Principles of Science
Natural Law Explained by reference to natural law Testable Can be modified Can be disproved

7 The Scientific Method Results Not Consistent With Hypothesis
Observations Hypothesis Predictions Tests Results Consistent With Hypothesis THEORY!

8 Developing Hypotheses
The Scientific Method Developing Hypotheses Inductive Reasoning Specific  General Deductive Reasoning General  Specific

9 factors that influence a process
The Scientific Method Experimental Design Variables factors that influence a process Controls factors that are kept constant to provide comparison to the results of an experimental manipulation

10 The Scientific Method Theories, Principles, & Laws
Theory: Integration of numerous well-supported hypotheses Principles: Theories with little likelihood of being refuted Laws: Principles of great importance

11 The Scientific Method Proximate Causes Ultimate Causes
Experimental Method Ultimate Causes Comparative Method

12 The Origins of Darwinian Evolutionary Theory

13 All living things are related and They have changed over time
Anaximander BC Aristotle BC

14 Leonardo da Vinci ( ) Galileo ( )

15 Jean Lamarck ( ) James Hutton ( ) Charles Lyell ( )

16 Charles Darwin ( ) Alfred Wallace ( )

17 Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

18 The living world is neither constant nor in a predictable cycle
1. PERPETUAL CHANGE The living world is neither constant nor in a predictable cycle

19 All life forms descended from a common ancestor
2. COMMON DESCENT All life forms descended from a common ancestor

20 3. MULTIPLICATION OF SPECIES
Evolution produces new species by splitting and transforming old species

21 4. GRADUALISM Differences between species originate by accumulation of numerous incremental changes over long periods of time

22 Organisms undergo change to meet the demands of their environment
5. NATURAL SELECTION Organisms undergo change to meet the demands of their environment adaptation

23 Potential to Increase Numbers
Observation 1 Potential to Increase Numbers Observation 2 Population Size Stays Constant Observation 3 Resources are Limited

24 Struggle for Existence
Inference #1 Struggle for Existence Observation 4 Variation Exists in Populations Observation 5 Variation is Heritable

25 Differential Survival and Reproduction
Inference #2 Differential Survival and Reproduction Inference #3 Generates New Adaptations and New Species

26 Evidence of Darwin’s Five Theories of Evolution

27 The Fossil Record Mass extinctions Cambrian Explosion
66 m.y.b.p. - present m.y.b.p. Mass extinctions m.y.b.p. Cambrian Explosion

28 The Cambrian Explosion

29 The Fossil Record (cont.)

30 Biogeography Allopatric Speciation Ensatina distribution

31 Homologous Structures
Comparative Anatomy Homologous Structures

32 Comparative Anatomy (cont)
Ontogeny Vestigial Structures Biochemistry DNA ATP enzymes

34 Galapagos Tortoises

36 Revisions of Darwinian Evolutionary Theory

37 small-scale genetic changes within populations
EVOLUTION OCCURS AT TWO LEVELS 1. Microevolution small-scale genetic changes within populations 2. Macroevolution large-scale results of genetic changes (e.g. formation of new species or evolution of large scale trends across species)

38 Evolution via NATURAL SELECTION
evolution that occurs because individuals with some traits survive and reproduce better than do individuals with other traits

39 Populations Population = group of similar individuals living in the same geographic area Gene Pool = sum of all genetic information within a population Over-reproduction Variation Among Individuals Heritable Traits Differential Survival

40 Population Genetics Hardy-Weinberg Law genes alleles genotype
phenotype Hardy-Weinberg Law When a population is NOT evolving, the allele frequencies will stay constant

41 Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
1. No Mutation 2. No Gene Flow 3. Random Mating 4. No Genetic Drift 5. No Selection

42 Hardy-Weinberg Equation
Where: p = frequency of dominant allele q = frequency of recessive allele

43 Consider a single locus bearing two alleles
H (Hairy) h (hairless) HH = hairy = 16 Hh = hairy = 48 hh = hairless = 36 p = frequency of H = 0.4 q = frequency of h = 0.6

44 changes in allele frequencies over time
NATURAL SELECTION evolution that occurs because individuals with some traits survive and reproduce better than do individuals with other traits RESULT? changes in allele frequencies over time

45 1. Stabilizing Selection
Three Patterns of Macroevolution 1. Stabilizing Selection Favors intermediate forms and selects against extremes

46 2. Directional Selection
Three Patterns of Macroevolution 2. Directional Selection Tends to favor forms at one extreme of the range of variation

47 Three Patterns of Macroevolution
3. Disruptive Selection Tends to favor forms at the extremes and selects against intermediate forms

48 SLOWLY How fast do these changes occur?
Darwinian Evolution  Gradualism Periods of Rapid Evolutionary Change  Punctuated Equilibrium

49 Divergence from original population  similar, but different populations
RESULT = SPECIATION

50 WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM EVOLUTION AND NATURAL SELECTION?
