CHAPTF,F.24 THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES OUTLII\E L What Is a SPecies? A. The biological species concept emphasizes reproductive isolation B. prezygotic and postzygotic barriers isolate the gene pools of biological species C. The biological species concept does not work in all situations D. Other species concepts emphasize features and processes that identiff and unite species members II. Modes of SPeciation A. Geographical isolation can lead to the origin of species: allopatric speciation B. A new species can originate in the geographical midst of the parent species: sympatric sPeciation c. Genetic change in populations can account for speciation D. The punctuated equilibrium model has stimulated research on the tempo of speciation The Origin of Evolutionary NoveltY

Ecology-A Study of Relationships Ecology means the study of the home Ecology is the study of organisms in their natural environment Biosphere is everywhere that life exists Viewing planet Earth from Space Satellites are an economical way to gather data; they have sensors, these gather data quickly from a very large region, and they last a long time Electromagnetic radiation Total ozone-mapping spectrometer Understanding environmental interactions allows us to predict the effects of human activity Biomes- Climatic Zones of Life Biome- a large geographic region determined by the climate and soil type Climate- average weather pattern over a long period of time Ecosystem- a Functional Unit Ecosystem is the Functional Unit because biome is too big to conduct research

The interaction between organisms and their environments determine the distribution and abundance of organisms 2. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences 3. Ecological research ranges from the adaptations of individual organisms to the dynamics of the biosphere 4. Ecology provides a scientific context for evaluating environmental issues Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment.

The Backbone of Biological Molecules [[Page.58]] Although living organisms use water as their universal medium for life, they are made up of chemicals based mostly on the element carbon. Carbon enters the biosphere through the action of plants in the transformation of CO2 Of all chemical elements, carbon is unparalleled (best) in its ability to form molecules that are large, complex and diverse (various), and this molecular diversity had made possible the diversity of organisms that have evolved on Earth.

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.
