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?
Many species of animals make alarm calls, whichwarn others in their group that a predator isapproaching. Alarm calls also attract the attention of the predator, making it more likely thatthe individual making the call will be eaten. Whymight natural selection favor the evolution ofalarm calls in a species? How might you test thathypothesis?
In the animal kingdom today, poikilotherms outnumberhomeotherms by a great margin. Why is poikilothermy asuccessful way of life even though poikilotherms sometimesmust compete successfully with homeotherms to survive?

Propliopithecids vs. Parapithecids. Adapids and Omomyids. Dryopithecus and Oreopithecus. With the exception of Gigantopithecus, many students struggle to differentiate between the various fossil primates. So, let's write about them, have a little fun, and help embed them in our brains. Create an original comic or storyboard that illustrates one of the fossil primates. Unlike the Primate Profiles, this is NOT meant to be a research project! This is meant to be a study tool for you. You should build comics primarily, if not exclusively.
In 1798, a stuffed platypus specimen was delivered tothe British Museum. Reports that it laid eggs createdmuch confusion. To modern biologists, a platypus isclearly a mammal. It has fur and the females producemilk. Young animals have typical mammalian teeth thatare replaced by hardened pads of the “bill” as the animalmatures. Why do you think modern biologists can moreeasily accept that a mammal can have some reptileliketraits than scientists who were considering this animal inthe late 1700s?
