BSC 400-2 Phylogeny

TermDefinition
Phylogeny* reconstruction of the evolutionary history of an organism or group of organisms; commonly shown in dendrogram or cladogram
Dendrogram definition simplified picture of evolution, position of organism is a reference to time and hierarchical organization of the animal
Dendrogram picture (Ancestral Primates) Let The Nuns Only Go On Gorillas CHild (LTNOGOGCH) PROSIMIANS: Lemurs, pottos, lorises>Tarsiers> ANTHROPOIDS: New World Monkeys>Old World Monkeys>Gibbons>Orangoutangs> Gorillas>Chimpanzees>Humans
Cladogram Picture (Ancestral Colonial Choanoflagellates) I. Parazoa (Porifera) II.Eumetazoa A. Radiata (Cnidaria, Ctenophora) B. Bilatera 1. Deuterostomia (Echnodermata, Chordata) 2. Protostomia (continued on next slide)
Protostomia a. Ecdysozoa (nematoda, arthropoda) b. Lophotrochozoa (BRAMPN PB) (platyhelminthes, rotifera, nermetea, bryozoa, mollusca, annelida, brachiopoda, phoronida)
Assumptions of cladogram or dendrogram (1-3) 1.Evolution continouos and connected (no break in lineage- dead ends are extinctions) 2.similar species evolved from common ancestor. 1 branch>multiple branches, not other way around 3.Agreed phylogeny is the one that is most parsimonious
Assumptions of cladogram or dendrogram (4-5) 4. Only a hypothesis, time or exact sequence of speciation can never be proven 5.Can be simple (generalizing too much can be misleading) or complex (overwhelming)
Parsimoniuos* least number of evolutionary steps or events leading to present state of species
Hierarchical Classification (using Panther example) Domain (Eukarya)> Kingdom (Animalia)>Phylum (Chordata)>Class (mammilia)>Order (carnivora)>Family (Felidae)>Genus (panthera)> Species (panthera pardus)
3 definitions of a speicies Biological Species Concept (BSC), Phylogenetic/Evolutionary Species Concept (P/ESC), Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTC)
Biological Species Concept (BSC) pop of organisms that posses potential to interbreed with viable offspring. Cannot breed with other populations-prezygotic and postzygotic barriers
Evolutionary Species Concept Also known as: Phylogenetic Species Concept; population evolved seperately, unique evolutinary history, exsists as a tip of phylogeny due to molecular data
Operational Taxonomic Unit terminal taxon determined by differences in sequence, grp of organisms used in study without designation of taxonomic rank
New Species: Urspelerpes brucei compare pair-wise distance between spelerpine genera for gene Rag-1. Genera include (eurycea, gyrinophilus, pseudotrition, stereochilus)SPEG
Historical Approach to Constructing Phylogenies Morphological data-measurements of characteristics and prescence and absence of features.
Modern Approach Use molecular characteristics; presence of absence of specific proteins, comparing DNA and RNA sequences. Can assign time frame based on estimated time for sequence to change
Phylogeny of salamanders based on DNA sequence (secor cosumes peoples ambition and really scares dumb people) Sirenidae, Cryptobranchidae, Plethodontidae, Amphiumidae, Ambystromidae, Rhyacotritonidae, Salamandridae, Dicamptodontidae, Proteidae
Phylogeny of salamanders based on Morphology CHildren Dont Ask SPelling Anymore SPank
Phylogengy of salamanders based on rRNA Sirens CHange Readily PAssing People Singing DAringly
Deuterostomes Eight Cell Stage- (radial and indeterminate); Coelom Formation (Enterocoelus-folds of archenteron make coelom); Blastopore becomes anus
Protostomes Eight cell stage (Spiral and determinate); Coelom formation (Schizocoelous-mesoderm split to form solid masses of coelom); blastopore develops into mouth
4 Chordate characteristics were thought to have evolved for ______ and _____ feeding and locomotion
4 chordate characteristics Dorsal hollow nerve cord, post anal tail,paired pharyngeal slits, notocord
Dorsal Hollow NErve Cord* develops embryonically as longitudinal folding of ectoderm layer (invagination or neurulation). infolding closes dorsally. becomes hollow tube and eventuallly CNS.
Paired Pharyngeal slits* embryonically develops from lateral wall of pharnyx. only embryonic in terrestrial vertebrates. forms gill slits in aquatic
Post-Anal Tail* extension of body beyond the anus
Notochord* longitudinal, fluid-filled, ventral to the dorsal hollow nerve cord. mesodermic origin-dorsal wall of gut. surrounded by sheathes of CT. provides rigidity, preventing shortening and lengthening.
Notochord in most vertebrates* lost before birth, function replaced by vertebrae, only remnants in the intervertebral disks
Segmented Muscles block* another key chordate characteristic, referred ro as myomeres*; segmentation also extends skeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems
Endostyle* another key chordate characteristic, longitudinal mid-ventral groove that runs the length of the pharnyx. Lower chordates: secretes sticky mucous to trap food. Higher chordates: precursor to thyroid gland
Protochordate* invertebrates within chordates (2 phyla urochordate and cephalochordata)
Hemichordate* invertebrate (protochordate), acorn worms. lack notochord and post-anal tail so not always included in chordates
Classes of hemichordates Enteropneusta, pterobranchia, tornaria (generalized larvae)
Urochordates (Tunicates)* express all characteristics at some point. 3 major groups: (ATL) Ascidiacea, Thaliacea, Larvacea,
Ascidiaceans* Sea squirts, tadpole. free swimming. posses 4 characteristics at same time
Axial complex on ascidiacean larva consists of: tail, dorsal hollow nerve cord, notochord
Cephalochordates 45 species that inhabit marine coastline. retain all 4 characteristics throughout whole lifetime, streamline in shape (5-7cm long), low continuous dorsal and tail fin. adults usually live buried course sediment with oral head protruding
Cephalochordates swim by: lateral undulation thanks to their segmented muslce and notochord
Cephalochordates trap food: using pharyngeal apparatus. cilia in oral hood create current. food (microorganisms and phytoplankton) gets trapped by muccous produced by endostyle and then passes into gut
Subphylum Vertebrata Characteristics* Increase Cephalization, Brain enclosed by cranium, Neural Crest Tissue, sensory placodes, vertebral column, gills supported by cartilage, gills used for breathing,muscular pumping for water movement through gill
Sensory placodes* produced by thickening and later invagination of head ectoderm. forms lens of eyes, nose, and ears
Neural Crest Cells* pinched off portions of ectoderm from formation of dorsal hollow nerve cord. migrate throughout body give rise to: visceral arches,dentine of teeth, post ganglionic neurons, adrenal medulla
Vertebral Column* bone or cartilaginous blocks that give support, used in movement
Vertbrata Characteristics allow them for ______ increased levels of activity and the ability to actively aquire food and escape predators. have greater sensory perception, muscular development, and consequently greater metabolic needs.
paedomorphosis proposed method of evolution of vertebrates by W. Garstang, retention of active characteristics into adulthood, eliminating sessile stage
evolution of Increasing active lifestyle of vertebrates characterized by 3 steps* 1. suspension feeding prevertebrates (uro, ceph, hemi)- use cilia and mucous to trap food 2. early vertebrate lacking jaws-agnathan 3. early vertebrate possesing jaws-gnathostome
Agnathan* ciliary pumps replaced by muscular pumps, constricting pharnyx can move water in and out of oral cavity. addition of cartilgonus supports
Gnathostome* switch in feeding habit-active feeding instead of suspension feeding and mouth-sucking. innovations of jaw for capturing and holding onto prey.
