Adaptive Change
|
heritable traits change inter-generationally in response to environmental conditions and diversity
|
|
diversity
|
species are related by common ancenstry and arise from pre-existing species
|
|
Evolution by natural selection generates
|
1. Adaptive Change
2. Diversity |
|
Biogenetic Tree
|
Darwinian Evolution produces a tree of life.
|
|
Adaptive Radiation
|
Happens when one or a small group of ancestral species diversifies, often "rapidly" into a large number of descendent species that occupy a wide variety of ecological niches.
|
|
Natural Selection
Two conditions must be met for natural selection to occur amongst individuals in a population |
1. individuals in the population vary in characters that are heritable
2. in a particular environment, certain versions these hertiable traits help individuals survive better or reproduce more than do other versions |
|
Evolution
|
Evolution by natural selection occurs when heritable variation leads to differential success in survival and reproduction
________________________ Evolution is defined more specifically as a change in allele frequencies in a population over time-- intergenerationally |
|
Adaption and Diversity Assignment
|
The goal of the exercise is to explore how much genetic variation is needed for a population to adapt to environmental change, and to explore how variation in environmental conditions affects the genetic diversity of populations.

|
Rosemary and Peter Grant's Finch Experiments
|
Changes in body size and shape in medium ground finches on Isle Daphne Major showed that *drought-induced changes in seed availability was the selective force that led to evolution* of an increase in the finch population's average beak depth.
