Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.

Most animals show derived characteristics (character states) that differentiate them from their common ancestor (ancestral character state). However, evolution can also move in reverse, involving the change of a derived character state back to an ancestral state. Provide two examples from invertebrates of such ‘reverse evolution’ from a derived state (specialized state) back to a more ancestral character state
Briefly explain how bat's and bird's wings arr evolution evidence for both homologous and analogous structures
Insects have three thoracic (trunk) segments. While researchershave found insect fossils with pairs of wings on all threesegments, modern insects have wings or related structureson only the second and third segment. It turns out thatin modern insects, Hox gene products act to inhibit wingformation on the first segment. The treehopper insect (above)is somewhat of an exception. In addition to having wingson its second segment, the treehopper’s first segment has anornate helmet that resembles a set of thorns, which a recentstudy has found to be a modified, fused pair of “wings.” Thethorn-like structure helps to camouflage the treehopper intree branches, thus reducing its risk of predation. Explain howchanges in gene regulation could have led to the evolution ofsuch a structure.
Given homologous structures like a bird’s wing & whale’s flipper and analogous structures like a bird's wing & insect's wing, prove evolution.
This West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) is an aquaticmammal. Like amphibians and reptiles, mammals are tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs). Explain why manatees areconsidered tetrapods even though they lack hind limbs, andsuggest traits that manatees likely share with leopards andother mammals (see Figure 26.12b). Discuss how early members of the manatee lineage might have differed from today’smanatees.

The diversity of modern vertebrates was shaped in partby mass extinctions. The most severe extinction eventwe know of occured at the border between the Permianand Triassic periods about 250 million years ago. Anestimated 96 percent of the marine species and 70 percentof land species disappeared in what is sometimes called“The Great Dying.” The cause of this mass extinctionremains under investigation. Suggested causes includean asteroid impact, extreme volcanic activity, or a sudden release of carbon dioxide from deposits on the sea floor. Which groups of vertebrates were present when this mass extinction event occurred? Which evolvedafterward?
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.
