4Mar • Opener: Who came up with the idea of evolution? • Agenda • Review of Natural Selection • Evolution Misconceptions • Big Picture on Evolution • Homework • Read the intro to Chapter 8 on pg 287
Ways of Knowing Science, in terms of the ways of knowing discussed by Kerlinger (1973), might be considered a special case of the combination of experience and reason. While inspiration or intuition often plays an important role in scientific discovery, it must be subjected to experience that can be publicly verified and reason before it is accepted. • Experience • Intuition • Authority • Philosophy • Science
Natural selection • There is heritable variation within populations • More offspring are born than can survive • The result is a competition for limited resources • Some organisms survive & reproduce based on adaptation Charles Darwin
Evolution Misconceptions • http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/misconceps/IHowitworks.shtml • http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/variation/misconceptions/

14 Mar • Opener: • Page 287 in our book talks a lot about “chance and selection” in regard to evolution. How does “chance and selection” summarize evolution? • Agenda • Collect Unit 8 Reading/ Sub Report • Lizard drawing • Co-evolution/ Symbiosis and Mimicry • Homework • none
Co-evolution and Symbiosis • Coevolution • The evolutionary change of one species triggered by the change of another species with which it closely interacts • Symbiosis • Two different organisms living together • Types of Symbiosis: • Mutualism (+/+) • Commensalism (+/o) • Parasitism (+/-)
Mutualism • Benefits both organisms (+/+) • Example: Acacia ants and Acacia trees
Commensalism • Benefits one organism, no effect on the other (+/0) • Example: Whales and barnacles
Parasitism • Beneficial to one organism, harmful to another (+/-) • Example: leeches!
Mimicry • Mimicry is the similarity of one species to another. This similarity can be in appearance, behavior, sound, scent or location and can protect one or both species. • Result of convergent evolution
More Batesian mimicry The toxic sea slug Phillidiella pustulosa (left) is mimicked by a harmless flatworm Pseudoceros imitatus
More Batesian mimicry The harmless Allobates zaparo (top) mimics the poisonous Epipedobates biliguis (middle) and the even more toxic species E. parvalus whenever these species share their habitats
More Batesian mimicry The filefish Canthigaster valentini (left) mimics the unpalatable puffer Paraluterus prionurus
More Batesian mimicry The Harlequin Snake eel (Myrichthys colubrinus) mimics the Banded sea snake (Laticauda colubrina) an extremely toxic species with conspicuous black and white warning colouration
More Batesian mimicry The mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus)has the ability to mimic other aquatic creatures in order to avoid predation
Müllerian mimicry Many stinging wasps, like (from left to right) Vespula vulgaris, Vespula germanica and Vespula rufa share the same or similar black and yellow color pattern.
Müllerian mimicry Subspecies of Heliconius erato (left-hand column) and of H. melpomene on the right. Both species are toxic and form a local mimicry ring from a different area of Ecuador or northern Peru
The use of black and yellow as a warning sign(RESEMBLING POISINOUS SPECIES)
Peckhamian mimicry This angler fish (Antenarius sp.) displays a lure resembling a small fish
Angler fish: • http://www.arkive.org/anglerfish/lophius-piscatorius/video-08.html
Peckhamian mimicry In its mouth, the Alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temminckii) possesses a wormlike projection that is moved to attract prey into the turtle’s mouth
More Peckhamian mimicry Some spiders like the Synemosyninae and the genus Myrmarachne mimic ants that they hunt
More Peckhamian mimicry Lightning bugs (Lampiridae) have specific flash sequences to find eachother. Females of the genus Photurus can imitate the flash sequence of Photunis females in order to attract male wich they will devour .
Peckhamian mimicry in carnivorous plants The fly orchid (Ophrys insectifera) and the Venus Flytrap, (Dionaea muscipula) attract insects that they digest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktIGVtKdgwo
Wasmannian mimicry Reichenbachia spatulifer Araeoschizus sp. Some beetles mimic ants in order to be provided with food, shelter and protection
Camouflage The moth Datana sp. (Notodontidae)mimics the rain forest floor
Camouflage The frog Paradoxophyla palmata mimics the mud and tree trunks in its environment.
Camouflage The pygmy seahorse Hippocampus bargibanti mimics gorgonian corals of the genus Muricella
Camouflage The great bittern Botaurus stellarisis pretty well camouflaged in its natural habitat

Examples of Natural Selection • In a group of Zebras, some are fast, some are slow • Lions catch the slowest zebras first • Slow zebras are often killed before they can reproduce • Therefore, the genes for slowness don’t get passed on, but the genes for fastness do • Over time, the population of zebras becomes faster • How else could a population of Zebras change to avoid being eaten? • How do you think the population of lions changes?
