  2. UNIT 3: THE LIVING WORLD CHAPTER 3: EVOLUTION, BIODIVERSITY, AND POPULATION ECOLOGY

  3. THE UNIT: CHAPS 3, 4, 5 (16) • LEVELS OF ECOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION • ECOSYSTEM • COMMUNITY • POPULATION • INDIVIDUAL

  4. CHAPTER 3: POPULATION LEVEL • A population is a collection of individuals of the same species, living within the same geographic location and within the same community and ecosystem. • For life-forms that reproduce sexually, there will be variability of traits within that population. • Individual variability will also arise out of genetic mutation

  5. CHARLES DARWIN AND THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. BEAGLE

  6. DARWIN: “THAT’S IT?! I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.....WELL, BIGGER!

  7. AS A YOUNG MAN... “I don’t feel too well!”

  8. GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

  9. NATIVE (“INDIGENOUS”) SPECIES KNOW NO FEAR OF MAN

  10. TWO ISLANDS, TWO “DARWIN’S FINCHES”

  11. ONE BIG ISLAND-----TWO SMALLER ISLANDS • ISLAND A: Mountainous, Dry climate • ISLAND B: Exposed, Wet climate

  12. SEEDS

  13. ONE BIG ISLAND-------TWO SMALLER ISLANDS • ISLAND A: Mountainous, Dry climate, TOUGH SEED SHELLS • ISLAND B: Exposed, Wet climate, SOFTER SEEDS

  14. DARWIN’S FINCHES DRY ISLAND A, TOUGH SEEDS WET ISLAND B, SOFT SEEDS

  15. DARWIN • “BY JOVE! THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS SPLIT ONE SPECIES INTO TWO!” • “IT CHANGED THE SMALL-BEAKED BIRDS INTO BIG-BEAKED!”

  16. DARWIN • “WOULD THIS ALSO OCCUR ON THE SAME ISLAND?”

  17. NATURAL SELECTION • “A significant change in the environment will “select” out of a population those individuals possessing a trait that gives them an advantage.” • “These individuals will die at a slower rate than individuals without this trait, and will tend to find one another for mating with more frequency.” • “Over time, and generations, the original trait will be strengthened, as reflected in a higher and higher % of individuals with that trait....until a new species is formed.”

  18. ISLAND A • FINCH LIFE-SPAN: 5 YEARS • TIME ZERO: 95% small-beaked, 5% big-beaked • 20 YEARS: 90% small-beaked, 10% big-beaked • 10,000 YEARS: 99% BIG-BEAKED

  19. DIVERGENT v CONVERGENT EVOLUTION • DIVERGENT: Closely related species in different environments with very different selective pressures • CONVERGENT: Unrelated species in similar environments

  20. EVOLUTION WORKING AGAINST MANKIND • ANTI-BIOTIC RESISTANCE • PESTIC IDE RESISTANCE

  21. WORK ON EXTRA CREDIT, A.B.
