Chapter 27, Problem 8TYU
FOCUS ON EVOLUTION
In Figure 27.29, circle the smallest monophyletic group that includes dinosaurs. Explain your answer and list the taxa that are in this clade. Knowing that birds are endothermic and crocodiles are ectothermic, can you use phylogenetic bracketing (see Concept 20.3) to predict whether dinosaurs other than birds are ectothermic or endothermic? Explain.

Part 3: Reconstructing evolutionary history
Below is a phylogeny for six groups of placental mammals (Eutheria) from the Tree of Life website
(http://tolweb.org/tree/)
Artiodactyla (pigs, deer, cattle, goats)
Cetacea (whales, dolphins, porpoises)
Perissodactyla (horses, tapirs, rhinos)
Hyracoidea (hyraxes, dassies)
Sirenia (manatees, dugong, sea cows)
Proboscidea (elephants, mammoths)
Both the Cetacea and Sirenia are aquatic members of the Eutheria. All of their close relatives are
terrestrial. We generally assume that the common ancestor of these groups was terrestrial (T) and that
being aquatic (A) is a derived trait that evolved just twice (i.e. there were 2 independent changes from
T→A).
a) To the right of each taxon, write a T beside terrestrial taxa and an A beside aquatic taxa. I
b) Now let's assume that the most recent common ancestor of this group was aquatic (A). What is
the minimum number of changes (A→T and/or T→A) that could have resulted in the distribution
of traits we…
Through the phylogenetic tree of major groups of vertebrates provided below, answer the given table by numbering each node (the point where branches intersect) in the diagram. Then list the names of each group and write down the shared characteristic(s) of it. You may add more rows if needed.
Node Number
Animal Group 1
Animal Group 2
Animal Group 1&2 Shared Characteristics
The following four line drawings are reconstructions of invertebrate fossil. Using your knowledge of the extant invertebrate phyla, please indicate which phylum this species mostly likely belongs to. Support your conclusion by connecting the morphological characteristics of the fossil species with the distinguishing characteristics of the phylum.

- Draw a phylogenetic tree depicting our current understanding of the animal phylogeny. Include the major groups of animals at the tips of your tree: Deuterostomia, Protostomia, Lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa, Porifera, and Cnidaria. Additionally, label the common ancestor of all animals, indicate which groups are considered invertebrates, and indicate where the vertebrates fit within the phylogeny. Write on your tree where the following characteristics arose as evolutionary innovations: multicellularity, true tissues, radial and bilateral symmetry, animals with 2 germ layers and animals with 3 germ layers.arrow_forwardThe taxon Crocodilia includes crocodiles, Aves includes birds, and Squamata includes snakes and lizards. If we think of Crocodilia and Squamata as reptiles, what kind of phylogenetic group do they form?
