Underlying Principles of Zoology Laws of physics and chemistry apply. Principles of genetics and evolution
important. What is learned from one animal group
can be applied to others. The two central principles for zoology
are; Evolution Chromosomal inheritance

Darwin's Theory of Evolution (Ernst Mayr’s 5 central theories of “Darwinism)
Perpetual change: changes across generations are a fact documented in the fossil record.
Common descent: branching lineages form a phylogeny that is confirmed by expanding research on morphological and molecular similarities.
Multiplication of species: splitting and transforming species produces new species.
Gradualism: small incremental changes over long periods of time cause gradual evolution but current research is still studying whether this explains all changes.
Natural selection: based on variability in a population, the inheritance of that variation, and differential survival of those variants, explains adaptation.

Natural Selection Observation 1. The reproductive
potential of every species is theoretically limitless.
Observation 2. Nevertheless, populations generally remain relatively constant in size. They are not increasing exponentially.
Observation 3. Natural resources are limited.

Natural Selection Inference 1. There is competition
for survival among members of a population.
Observation 4. Individuals in a species display variability.
Observation 5. Much of this variability is inherited.

Natural Selection
Inference 2. Because of their differing adaptations, varying organisms will have differential survival and reproduction rates.
Those with the best traits in a given environment will reproduce more and pass these traits on to their offspring.

Natural Selection
Inference 3. Over time, natural selection will result in the development of novel adaptations and new species.
Natural selection is random with respect to the mutations that result in variability, but selective in increasing beneficial traits in populations.

Evidence for Darwin’s Theories of Evolution Fossil record (see text) Common Descent Homology (very important concept in
reconstructing phylogenetic history of a species). Homologous structures are those that arise
the same way embryologically. Homology implies relationship = descent with modification.
Analogy. Structures with similar form, but arising
independently as a response to similar environmental pressures.

Haeckel’s generalization “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.”
Many exceptions. Free-living embryos have to adapt to their
environment and diverge from ancestors. Development is conservative, but the timing
of changes necessary to give different adults varies.
Nevertheless, similarity in embryological stages is a strong argument in favor of Darwin’s theory of common descent.

Terms to note when reading
Gradualism vs. punctuated equilibrium
Allopatric speciation Adaptive radiation Neo Darwinism. Add chromosomal
theory of inheritance to what Darwin knew.

Two theories of taxonomy Traditional evolutionary phylogeny
(phylogenetic tree) Phylogenetic systematics =
cladistics (provide cladograms) Differences between these are not
based on differences in evolutionary principles, but in how these principles are used.

Relationships between taxons and trees or cladograms
Monophyly. Monophyletic taxons
include the most recent common ancestor of all of the members of the group and all of the descendants of that ancestor.
![Page 12: Underlying Principles of Zoology Laws of physics and chemistry apply. Principles of genetics and evolution important. What is learned from one animal group](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649ece5503460f94bdab7c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Relationships between taxons and trees or cladograms
Paraphyly. Paraphyletic taxons
include most recent common ancestor of group, but not all of the descendants of that ancestor.
![Page 13: Underlying Principles of Zoology Laws of physics and chemistry apply. Principles of genetics and evolution important. What is learned from one animal group](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649ece5503460f94bdab7c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Polyphyly. Polyphyletic taxons do
not include the most recent common ancestor of the group. Groups evolved same feature independently.

Two theories of taxonomy
Both traditional and cladistic views accept monophyletic groupings and reject polyphyletic groups from their classifications.
Differ regarding acceptance of paraphyletic groups. These are accepted in traditional view.
![Page 15: Underlying Principles of Zoology Laws of physics and chemistry apply. Principles of genetics and evolution important. What is learned from one animal group](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649ece5503460f94bdab7c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Traditional evolutionary phylogeny
Higher taxa ranked by: common descent. amount of evolutionary change shown
on a phylogenetic tree. Each taxonomic group must:
have a single evolutionary origin Be unique with respect to adaptive
features.
![Page 16: Underlying Principles of Zoology Laws of physics and chemistry apply. Principles of genetics and evolution important. What is learned from one animal group](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649ece5503460f94bdab7c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Traditional evolutionary phylogeny Based on adaptive zones (distinct ways
of life). Enter new adaptive zone when change
sufficiently in structure (morphology) and behavior, e.g. fly rather than walk.
Recognize paraphyletic taxa. Problem because distorts patterns of common descent in order to group taxa according to unique adaptive features.
![Page 17: Underlying Principles of Zoology Laws of physics and chemistry apply. Principles of genetics and evolution important. What is learned from one animal group](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649ece5503460f94bdab7c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Phylogenetic Systematics/Cladistics
All taxa must be monophyletic. Exclusion of paraphyletic taxa
complicates things, but makes sense. Use sister group concept to avoid
statements re what evolved from what.
Gets clearer when we get to vertebrate groups.
