Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: Darwinian View of Life Lecture Outline Overview: Darwin Introduces a Revolutionary Theory On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Darwin?s book drew a cohesive picture of life by connecting what had once seemed a bewildering array of unrelated facts. Darwin made two major points in The Origin of Species: Today?s organisms descended from ancestral species that were different from modern species. Natural selection provided a mechanism for this evolutionary change. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population can change over time if individuals that possess certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals.

Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Lecture Outline Overview: That ?Mystery of Mysteries? Darwin visited the Gal?pagos Islands and found them filled with plants and animals that lived nowhere else in the world. He realized that he was observing newly emerged species on these young islands. Speciation?the origin of new species?is at the focal point of evolutionary theory because the appearance of new species is the source of biological diversity. Microevolution is the study of adaptive change in a population. Macroevolution addresses evolutionary changes above the species level. It deals with questions such as the appearance of evolutionary novelties (e.g., feathers and flight in birds) that can be used to define higher taxa.

Michael Jones The management and conservation of wildlife, whatever its status (abundant, threatened, endangered, or overabundant), are best viewed in terms of a whole, because species can change in status. Modern approaches to management and conservation of wildlife use a broad perspective that includes interactions among species and an ecosystem and landscape context.

Connor Crisp P.1 3/25/10 Sophomore English Definitive essay final draft Resilience Flash go the camera bulbs; Ding goes the bell. Life is like the resilience of the old hardened boxer in come back prize fight against a fierce young blood of a contender. Our daily lives mirror this situation in that we all have problems that sometimes kick us down to the mat. Some may say that resilience is only getting back up, but truly resilience is more than that. True resilience is taking the hard punches, anticipating the opponent, and always getting back up even when all bets are placed against you.

Summary 1. Two major factors affect the number of species in a community: the latitude in terrestrial communities and pollution in aquatic systems. 2. Species play different roles in a community. Native species sustain the ecosystem in which they are a part. Some nonnative species will crowd out native species. Indicator species alert us to harmful changes in the community. Keystone species play ecological roles in the specific community: they may assist in pollination help regulate populations. Foundation species affect the community’s habitat to benefit other species. 3. Species interact with each other in these different ways: interspecific competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism.

Conservation of Energy Kevin D. Edgerton Objective: The objective of this experiment is to study the law of conservation of energy and see how the conservation of energy equation is used. . Data and Calculations: Part I: Bouncing Ball Mass of Ball 417.2g Ranger to floor distances 0.771m 0.778m 0.765m 0.769m 0.775m Average 0.7716m The Total Energy drops to near zero when the ball hits the ground. It does not violate the law of conservation of energy because the energy lost in the collision with the ground is not accounted for by the measurements of potential and kinetic energy. Because of this, the total energy decreases after each bounce. With a lighter ball there may be less energy lost during the collisions.
