25
4 things in cenozoic
Bering Land Bridge Movement of Continents Ice Age Evolution of Angiosperms
26
Life in Cenozoic
Angiosperms, mammoths, mammals (cooled down)
27
allopatric specation
separated by geographic barrier
28
vicariance
Barrier forms and separates
29
dispersal
population moves and becomes distinct (no gene flow)
30
sympatric speciation
population separates without barrier
31
parapatry
separation without a barrier but with reduced gene flow
32
Sexual dimorphism
sexes are different
33
anisogomy
different gametes
34
sexual selection
selection caused by competition for mate
35
batemans principle
variability in reproductive success is greater in males than females (females need more energy for offspring)
36
parental investment
unequal distribution among sexes of energy
37
combat
no female choice component
38
sperm competition
mates with multiple, sperm battle
39
infanticide
kill offspring
40
female choice
female selects phenotypes
41
environmental sex determination
sex determined by temp
42
red queen hypothesis
running to stay in place (TxW)
43
Family suffix
-idae
44
classification
codification of systematic studies
45
taxonomy
study of classificaiton
46
Order of thingies
Kung fu Panda Cant Outlast Food Generated Exercise
47
Critera for name
Published Declaration of Intent Description Deposition (loanable)
48
Holotype
named by discoverer and chose a representative
49
Lectotype
specimen from og author but designation by someone else with the specimen
50
Neotype
if a holotype no longer exists, someone can pick a new one
51
plesiomorphy
ancestral
52
apomorphy
derived
53
synapomorphy
shared derived characteristics
54
parsimony
easiest is best
55
parsimony pro
accurate with small samples, good for constant mutaiton rate and no homoplacy
56
parsimony con
gene trees differ, homoplacy and variable mutation rates interfere
57
ortholog
(want to use) loci decended from same locus
58
paralog
(dont want) loci decended from duplication event
59
Maximum likelihood
statistical model that calculates the probability of data is given the assumptions of the model
60
Equation of Max Likelihood
a1/copies of gene and pick smallest one
61
Boostrap support
statistical method to measure support of a node from 1-100
62
Balesian Inference
Probability that the allele frequency in the population is equal to any given value
63
Balesian Inference depends on
prior data
64
Balesian Inference Pro
robust statistical support complex data
65
balesian Inference con
can b very slow posterior probably values tend to be higher prior information can be a bad thing
66
edemicitity
taxa that originated and diversified in a given area
67
Biogeographical realms
ARW says 6
68
competitive displacement
species weeds out another
69
biotic displacement
species dies off an another fills in
70
puctuated equilibrium
periodis of stasis
71
phyletic gradualsim
branchy graph
72
symplesiomorphy
ancestra character state present in 2+ taxa
73
autamorphy
derived character state which is unique to single taxon
