Phylogeny and Systematics

Macroevolution
• Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence
• These characteristics would be the basis for creating new taxa above the species level– Individual unit of classification system• Ex: Kingdom

Phylogeny • The evolutionary
history of a species or group of related species
• Constructed through fossils, DNA/RNA/ protein analysis

Systematics• Study of biodiversity
in an evolutionary context
• Uses taxonomy to trace phylogeny
• Classifies organisms based on evolutionary history

Fossil Formation• Fossils are formed in
sedimentary rock• Organisms die, then
sediments are deposited on top of them
• Older fossils on bottom of strata; newer ones in top strata

Incomplete Record• Organisms don’t always
die in locations favoring fossil formation
• Lots of organisms don’t make fossils
• Some fossils may never be discovered due to location

Mass Extinctions
• Mass extinctions punctuated by major geological and climatic events– Permian– Pangaea– Cretaceous

Systematics: Taxonomy
• Modern system of taxonomy invented by Linnaeus
• Sought to give binomial names to all organisms: Genus species naming convention
• Example: Homo sapiens
![Page 9: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hierarchy of Classification
• Groups organisms from most broad to most specific categories
![Page 10: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Example
![Page 11: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cladistics and Phylogeny• Cladistics: study of
relationships among organisms shown by common characteristics not found in ancestral group
• Cladogram: diagram showing relationships among organisms
![Page 12: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Constructing a Cladogram: Step 1
• Sort homology from analogy:–Homologous
structures–Analogous structures:
do not have common ancestry; different structure, same function
![Page 13: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Constructing a Cladogram: Step 2
• Identify shared primitive characters:–Not limited to group
being studied (e.g. backbone)
• Identify shared derived characters:–Characteristics
unique to clade (hair in mammals)
![Page 14: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Constructing a Cladogram: Step 3
• Outgroup comparison– The ingroup is what’s being studied– The outgroup is what you compare ingroup to
• Identify characteristics to study• Make a data matrix• Make the cladogram

DNA Sequences• Genome sequencing
allows us to study DNA sequences of organisms to observe change over time
• Sequence alignments generated with computers
![Page 17: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Amino Acid Sequences
• Similarities in DNA sequences lead to similarities in AA sequences as well
• Gaps are present due to mutations
![Page 18: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Molecular Clocks
• Based on observation that some genomic regions evolve at constant rates• DNA or proteins can be compared
and the number of sequence differences is proportional to time passed since branching occurred
![Page 19: Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics. Macroevolution Attempts to explain how major adaptive characteristics came into existence These characteristics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649e025503460f94aece33/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
