I. INTRODUCTION TO EVOLUTION
• Evolution
o Change over time in the allele
frequency of organisms
o Descent with modification
• Natural Selection
o Populations of organisms can change
over the generations if individuals
having certain heritable traits leave
more offspring than others
o Differential reproductive success
• Evolutionary Adaptations
o A prevalence of inherited
characteristics that enhance
organisms’ survival and reproduction
November 24, 1859

II. A HISTORY OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORY, cont
• Darwin’s Finches
o New species of finches arose from gradual accumulation of adaptations due to
variations in food supply, terrain
III. DARWIN’S CONCLUSIONS
• Descent with Modification
o Four Observations
Members of a population often vary
greatly in their traits.
Traits are inherited from parents to
offspring.
All species are capable of producing
more offspring that their
environment can support.
Owing to a lack of food or other
resources, many of these offspring
do not survive.
III. DARWIN’S CONCLUSIONS, cont
• Decent with Modification
o Two Inferences
 Individuals whose inherited
traits give them a higher
probability of surviving and
reproducing in a given
environment tend to leave
more offspring than other
individuals.
 This unequal ability of
individuals to survive and
reproduce will lead to the
accumulation of favorable
traits in the population over
generations.

populations


• Species

• Gene pool
 Population’s genetic make-up
• Modern Synthesis/Neo-Darwinism
V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont
• Hardy-Weinberg Principle
– Predicts allele frequency in a
non-evolving population; that
is, a population in equilibrium
– Can be used to determine if
a population is evolving
– States that allele frequencies
in a population will remain
constant from generation to
generation if five conditions
are met
V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont
• Five Conditions for Hardy-Weinberg
Equilibrium
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
• If any of these conditions are not met,
evolutionary change will occur
V. POPULATION GENETICS, cont

 If p = frequency of one allele (A) and
 q = frequency of the other allele (a), then
p + q =

2. If in a population of 1,000, 90 show recessive phenotype (aa), use
Hardy-Weinberg to determine frequency of allele combinations.
VI. MICROEVOLUTION
• A change in the gene
pool of a population
over a succession of
generations
• Five main causes:
Genetic Drift
Gene Flow
Natural Selection
Mutation
Non-random Mating
VI. MICROEVOLUTION, cont
• Genetic Drift
o Changes in the gene pool due to chance. More often seen in small population
sizes. Usually reduces genetic variability. There are two situations that can
drastically reduce population size:
 The Bottleneck Effect: type of genetic drift resulting from a reduction in
population (natural disaster) such that the surviving population is no longer
genetically representative of the original population
VI. MICROEVOLUTION, cont
• Genetic Drift
 Founder Effect
 Genetic drift attributed
to colonization by a
limited number of
individuals from a
parent population
 Gene pool is different
than source population
VI. MICROEVOLUTION, cont
• Gene Flow
 Genetic exchange due to the
migration of fertile individuals
or gametes between
populations – tends to reduce
differences between
populations
• Natural Selection
 Differential success in
reproduction; only form of
microevolution that adapts a
population to its environment
VI. MICROEVOLUTION, cont
• Mutations
 A change in an
organism’s DNA
(gametes; many
generations); original
source of genetic
variation (raw material
for natural selection)
• Nonrandom Mating
 Inbreeding and assortive
mating - both shift
frequencies of different
genotypes
VII. VARIATIONS IN POPULATION
• Polymorphism
 Coexistence of 2 or more
distinct forms of
individuals (morphs)
within the same
population
• Geographical Variation
 Differences in genetic
structure between
populations (cline)
VII. VARIATIONS IN POPULATION, cont
• Mutation and Recombination
• Diploidy
 2nd set of chromosomes
hides variation in the
heterozygote
• Balanced Polymorphism
 Heterozygote Advantage
 Frequency-Dependent
Selection
o Survival & reproduction of any
1 morph declines if it
becomes too common
o Parasite/host
VII. VARIATIONS IN POPULATION, cont
• Adaptive Evolution due
to Natural Selection
 Fitness - Contribution an
individual makes to the
gene pool of the next
generation
• Three ways in which
natural selection alters
variation
Directional
Diversifying
Stabilizing
VII. VARIATIONS IN POPULATION, cont
• Sexual Selection
 Can result in sexual
dimorphism - secondary
sex characteristic
distinction
 Intrasexual Selection
 Intersexual Selection
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION
• Origin of new taxonomic
groups
• Speciation
Anagenesis accumulation of heritable
changes transform
existing species into new
species
Cladogenesis - budding
of new species from a
parent species that
continues to exist (basis
of biological diversity)
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION, cont
• Biological Species Concept
 Described by Ernst Mayr in 1942
 A population or group of
populations whose members
have the potential to interbreed
and produce viable, fertile
offspring; in other words, similar
organisms that can make babies
that can make babies 
 Can be difficult to apply to certain
organisms . . .
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION, cont
• Reproductive
Isolation
o Prevent closely
related species
from
interbreeding
when their
ranges overlap.
o Divided into 2
types
Prezygotic
Postzygotic
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION, cont
Prezygotic Reproductive Barriers
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION, cont
Postzygotic Reproductive
Barriers
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION, cont
• Speciation
o Fossil record shows evidence of bursts of many new
species, followed by periods of little chance
Known as punctuated equilibrium
o Other species appear to change more gradually
Gradualism fits model of evolution proposed by Darwin
VIII. MACROEVOLUTION, cont
• Modes of Speciation
 Based on how gene flow is
interrupted
 Allopatric
 Populations segregated by
a geographical barrier; can
result in adaptive radiation
(island species)
 Sympatric
 Reproductively isolated
subpopulation in the midst
of its parent population
(change in genome);
polyploidy in plants; cichlid
fishes

simlarities

attributed to common
ancestry
o Analogy - likenesses
attributed to similar
ecological roles and
natural selection

evolutionary branches
that resemble one
another due to similar
ecological roles

• Clade
 Refers to the set of species descended from
a particular ancestral species
 Relationships illustrated with a cladogram
o Branching diagram that depicts relationships
among taxa
o May illustrate derived character states among
taxa. Derived character states are traits not found
in ancestral species; indicate a close evolutionary
relationship among organisms
o Ingroup – Group of taxa being analyzed
o Outgroup – Used as a means of comparison;
closely related to, but not a part of, ingroup
o Parsimony – Also known as Occam’s Razor;
states that least complex explanation is most
likely
