(a) The astragalus is a synapomorphy that identifies artiodactyls as a monophyletic group. (b) If whales are related to hippos, then two changes occurred in the astragalus. ARTIODACTYLS Camel Whale Gain of pulley- shaped astragalus ARTIODACTYLS Peccary Camel Pig Peccary Gain of pulley- shaped astragalus Hippo Pig Whale Hippo Loss of pulley- shaped astragalus Astragalus (ankle bone) Deer Deer Cow Cow (c) Data on the presence and absence of SINE genes support the close relationship between whales and hippos. Locus 1 = gene present 0 = gene absent ? = still undetermined Cow Deer Whale Whales and hippos share four unique SINE genes (4, 5, 6, and 7) Hippo Pig Peccary Camel
Phylogenetic Tree • shows ancestor-descendent relationships among populations or species • clarifies evolutionary relationships
Root • Ancestor of all sequences on tree

Types of Trees • Rooted • Unrooted
Rooted Trees • Node identified as root, from which all other nodes descend • Have direction corresponding to evolutionary time

Unrooted Trees • Lacks root • Does not specify evolutionary relationships • Nothing about ancestors and descendents
Unrooted Trees • Lacks root • Does not specify evolutionary relationships • Nothing about ancestors and descendents • Many tree-building programs generate unrooted trees!
Types of Trees • Cladogram • Phylogram
Cladogram • Relative recency of common ancestry
Cladogram • Relative recency of common ancestry • Does not show amount of evolutionary change
Phylogram • Also contains branch lengths • Numbers associated with branches • Amount of evolutionary change

Methods for Tree Reconstruction • Distance methods • Discrete methods
Distance methods • measures sequence dissimilarity • UPGMA • Neighbor Joining (NJ)
UPGMA(Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) • Assumes constant rate of evolution • Sequential clustering algorithm
Neighbor Joining (NJ) • also uses distance matrix • Sequentially find neighbors that minimize length of tree
Neighbor Joining (NJ) • also uses distance matrix • Sequentially find neighbors that minimize length of tree A H B G C F D E
Neighbor Joining (NJ) • also uses distance matrix • Sequentially find neighbors that minimize length of tree A A H H B B I G G C C F D F D E E
Discrete methods • Maximum parsimony • Maximum likelihood
Maximum Parsimony Possible Trees: ((1,2),(3,4)) ((1,3),(2,4)) ((1,4),(2,3))
Newick Format • represented in linear form by nested parentheses • how computers store trees A C B D E (((A,C)B)(D,E))
