1
New cards
Convergent evolution
different organisms independently evolve similar traits
2
New cards
Anagenesis
gradual transformation (along branches) of one species into another (one species becomes another species)
3
New cards
Cladogenesis
rapid splitting of a species into 2 or more parts (one species splits into ≥2 species)
4
New cards
sources of variation
what kind of progeny are produced
5
New cards
what are 4 sources of variation?
- mutation
- recombination
- phenotypic plasticity
- constraints
6
New cards
modifiers of variation
what kinds of progeny are in the next generation
7
New cards
3 examples of modifiers of variation
- natural selection
- sexual selection
- genetic drift
8
New cards
phylogeny
diversification of lineages through evolution, each animal shares a trait with its neighbour
9
New cards
adaptation
a trait which arose historically, enhancing fitness as a result of natural selection
10
New cards
Key innovations
novel trait which originated in a particular lineage, providing evolutionary "advantages", ex
11
New cards
key innovations lead to ________ _________
key innovations lead to adaptive radiation
12
New cards
Adaptive radiation
explosion of speciation in a lineage, that can be causally linked to its key innovation, involving ecological & phenotypic diversification
