transitions from water to land
desiccation issues;loss water by living on land through permeable skin and permeable membranes. land animals add various substances to their skin such as wax coatings to reduce water loss
symbiosis
dinoflagellate algae living in Anemones and corals provide carbon based products of photosynthesis, and receive protection and nitrogen based nutrient in return. gut protists living inside the guts of termites break down the cellulose consumed by termites and produce acetate that is used up as energy and a source of carbon by the host termite
pollination
bees-pollinate brightly covered plants but can't see red
hummingbirds-like to pollinate unscented flowers
moths-white plants at night
`
pollination shift
plant evolves to the pollinator;eventually leads to speciation and is irreversible
ex;hummingbirds and flowers
co evolution
plants and flowers evolve with each other, meaning it eventually may be reversible, leads to specialization
morphological adaptations
spines evolved as an anti predator defense through convergent evolution
limb loss
not homologous trait in lizards; in tree in lab showed leglessness evolved 9 times. leglessness evolves according to habitat, easier motion in water, ability to burrow in soft-soilded/hot environments
4 advantages-more efficient locomotion, ability to utilize crevices, ability to burrow, efficient reproductive strategies
ancestor to snakes must be fully 4 limbed, but with reduced stubs to lack of use
homoplasy and convergence
external morphology may not indicate the best evolutionary relationship die to convergent evolution/homoplasy
morphology stasis
unchanging environments cause evolutionary stasis in different species
ex;sharks, ray, chimeras have evolved much slower than birds and sister taxa
body modifications and character polarity
evolution in body form in sessile organisms depends upon the availability of food sources in the environment. trade offs include food fathering, competition, and predation
barnacles ancestral form is stalk, derived is sessile
tunicate ancestral form is sessile, derived is stalk
squat form-short, thick shells, hold tight to surface even after death
little legs cannot extend far for food
stalk-thin stalk is easily knocked over by water or organisms, greater ability to extend farther for food
diversity within the mollusca
gastropoda-snails, slugs
chitons-marine grazers
bivalves-clames and muscles
cephalopods-squid
shells developed for protection
all mollusks have some sort of shell and muscle
