MACROEVOLUTION AND THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE
• Macroevolution:
– Encompasses the major biological changes evident in the fossil record
– Includes the formation of new species
![Page 2: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

• Speciation:
– Is the focal point of macroevolution
– May occur based on two contrasting patterns

• In nonbranching evolution:
– A population transforms but
– Does not create a new species

• In branching evolution, one or more new species branch from a parent species that may:
– Continue to exist in much the same form or
– Change considerably

THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES• Species is a Latin word meaning:
– “Kind” or
– “Appearance.”
![Page 7: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

What Is a Species?• The biological species concept defines a species as
– “A group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed and produce fertile offspring”

Mechanisms of Speciation• A key event in the potential origin of a species occurs when a
population is severed from other populations of the parent species.
![Page 25: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

• Species can form by:
– Allopatric speciation, due to geographic isolation
![Page 26: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Allopatric Speciation
• Geologic processes can:
– Fragment a population into two or more isolated populations
– Contribute to allopatric speciation

• Speciation occurs only with the evolution of reproductive barriers between the isolated population and its parent population.
![Page 29: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

What Is the Tempo of Speciation?• There are two contrasting models of the pace of evolution:
– The gradual model, in which big changes (speciations) occur by the steady accumulation of many small changes
– The punctuated equilibria model, in which there are
– Long periods of little change, equilibrium, punctuated by
– Abrupt episodes of speciation

EARTH HISTORY AND MACROEVOLUTION• Macroevolution is closely tied to the history of the Earth.

Geologic Time and the Fossil Record• The fossil record is:
– The sequence in which fossils appear in rock strata
– An archive of macroevolution

• Fossils are reliable chronological records only if we can determine their ages, using:
– The relative age of fossils, revealing the sequence in which groups of species evolved, or
– The absolute age of fossils, requiring other methods such as radiometric dating
![Page 40: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

• Radiometric dating:
– Is the most common method for dating fossils
– Is based on the decay of radioactive isotopes
– Helped establish the geologic time scale

Plate Tectonics and Macroevolution• The continents are not locked in place. Continents drift about the
Earth’s surface on plates of crust floating on a flexible layer called the mantle.
• The San Andreas fault is:
– In California
– At a border where two plates slide past each other
![Page 43: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

• About 250 million years ago:
– Plate movements formed the supercontinent Pangaea
– The total amount of shoreline was reduced
– Sea levels dropped
– The dry continental interior increased in size
– Many extinctions occurred

• About 180 million years ago:
– Pangaea began to break up
– Large continents drifted increasingly apart
– Climates changed
– The organisms of the different biogeographic realms diverged

Mass Extinctions and Explosive Diversifications of Life
• The fossil record reveals that five mass extinctions have occurred over the last 600 million years.
• The Permian mass extinction:
– Occurred at about 250 million years ago
– Claimed about 96% of marine species

• The Cretaceous extinction:
– Occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago
– Included the extinction of all the dinosaurs except birds
– Permitted the rise of mammals

CLASSIFYING THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE• Systematics focuses on:
– Classifying organisms
– Determining their evolutionary relationships
• Taxonomy is the:
– Identification of species
– Naming of species
– Classification of species
![Page 51: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Some Basics of Taxonomy• Scientific names ease communication by:
– Unambiguously identifying organisms
– Making it easier to recognize the discovery of a new species
• Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778) proposed the current taxonomic system based upon:
– A two-part name for each species
– A hierarchical classification of species into broader groups of organisms
![Page 52: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Naming Species
• Each species is assigned a two-part name or binomial, consisting of:
– The genus
– A name unique for each species
• The scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens, a two part name, italicized and latinized, and with the first letter of the genus capitalized.
![Page 53: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hierarchical Classification
• Species that are closely related are placed into the same genus.
![Page 54: 14 lecture presentation0](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550335bb4c905de2d8b5027/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Classification and Phylogeny• The goal of systematics is to reflect evolutionary relationships.
• Biologists use phylogenetic trees to:
– Depict hypotheses about the evolutionary history of species
– Reflect the hierarchical classification of groups nested within more inclusive groups

• A clade:
– Consists of an ancestral species and all its descendants
– Forms a distinct branch in the tree of life

Classification: A Work in Progress• Linnaeus:
– Divided all known forms of life between the plant and animal kingdoms
– Prevailed with his two-kingdom system for over 200 years
• In the mid-1900s, the two-kingdom system was replaced by a five-kingdom system that:
– Placed all prokaryotes in one kingdom

• Fossil evidence indicates that:
– Mammals first appeared about 180 million years ago
– The number of mammalian species
– Remained steady and low in number until about 65 million years ago and then
– Greatly increased after most of the dinosaurs became extinct
