Are humans more advanced, evolutionarily, than cockroaches?
Can bacteria be considered “lower” organisms?

Monophyletic Groups
A group in which all of the individuals are more closely related to each other than to any individuals outside of that group
Determined by looking at the nodes of the trees

Constructing evolutionary trees requires comparing similarities and differences between organisms.

10.9 Similar structures don’t always reveal common ancestry.

The mapping of species’ characteristics onto phylogenetic trees
Physical features – pre-1980 just looking at characteristics
DNA sequences – post 1980, made it easier to track organisms and similarities
![Page 14: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Convergent Evolution - which occurs when populations of organisms live in similar environments and so experience similar selective forces.
• Analogous traits - are characteristics (such as bat wings and insect wings) that are the same because they were produced by convergent evolution and not because they descended from a common structure in an ancestor they shared.
![Page 16: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Analogous traits:Features that are produced by convergent evolution
Homologous traits:Features that are inherited from a common ancestor
How do you know whether traits are homologous or analogous?

10.10–10.13
Macroevolution
gives rise to great
diversity.

10.10 Macroevolution is evolution above the species level.
![Page 19: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

10.11 The pace of evolution is not constant.

10.12 Adaptive radiations are times of extreme diversification.
When a small number of species diversifies into a much larger
number of species
![Page 24: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Three Phenomena May Trigger
Adaptive Radiations
All result in access to plentiful new resources.

Colonizers find a large number of opportunities for adaptation and diversification.

Innovations such as the wings and rigid skeleton that appeared in insects…
…helped them to diversify into the most successful group of animals.
There are more than 800,000 species today!

10.13 There have been several mass extinctions on earth.

Background Extinction
Extinctions that occur at lower rates during periods other than periods of mass extinctions
Occur mostly as the result of natural selection
![Page 31: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Background and Mass Extinctions Have Different Causes
Mass extinctions are due to extraordinary and sudden changes to the environment.
Background extinctions occur mostly as the result of natural selection.

10.14−10.17An overview of the diversity of life on earth: organisms are divided into three domains.

10.14 All living organisms are divided into one of three groups.

Classification Systems
The two-kingdom system• Animal and plant
The five-kingdom system • Monera, plant, animal, fungi, and protists

Classification Takes a Leap Forward
Carl Woese, an American biologist, and his colleagues
Examined nucleotide sequences
Tracking changes

Woese’s approach is not perfect.
Are viruses alive?

10.15 The bacteria domain has tremendous biological diversity.

Bacteria Are a Monophyletic Group
All bacteria have a few features in common:
Single-celled organisms with no nucleus or organelles
One or more circular molecules of DNA Several methods of exchanging genetic information Asexual organisms
![Page 45: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
10.16 The archaea domain includes many species living in extreme environments.
![Page 46: Evolutionary Trees and The Diversity of Life](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110309/558651d5d8b42a3e698b463c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

The archaea exhibit tremendous diversity and are often divided into five groups based on their physiological features.
Thermophiles – live in hot places
Halophiles – live in salty places
High- and low-pH tolerant
High-pressure tolerant – found 2.5 miles under the ocean’s surface
Methanogens

10.17 The eukarya domain consists of four kingdoms.
Plants, Animals, Fungi, and Protists
