Monophyletic
ancestor and all of its descendants
paraphyletic
ancestor and some but not all descendents
polyphyletic
includes 2 convergent ancestor but not their common ancestor
Ancestral
(shared by all)
Derived
(different from ancestral)
Apomorphy
(derived)
Synapomorphy
(shared derived)
Plesiomorphy
(shared with ancestor)
Heterochrony
- “different time”
- ∆ in gene expression timing
- Body props ∆ w/dev
- Stop development early
- Adult retain juv trait
- Paedomorphosis
Heterotopy
- “different place”
- ∆ in location of expression
- EX: Webbing between toes
- Absent: Humans
- Present: Aquatic birds/bads
Eras w/in Phanerozoic
- Paleozoic (ancient)
- Mesozoic (middle)
- Cenozoic (recent)
Heterometry
- “different measure”
- ∆ in amount of gene product
- EX: BMP and Darwin’s finches
- Cambrian (541 mya) explosion
