Key concept : Evolution occurs in patterns
Evolution occurs in patterns
• Evolution through natural selection is not random.
• Natural selection can have direction.
• The effects of natural selection add up over time.
Macroevolution
Macroevolution refers to large-scale
evolutionary patterns and processes that
occur over long periods of time.
Six important patterns of
macroevolution
Convergent Evolution
Convergent Evolution
Defined: evolution toward similar traits in unrelated species due to a
similar environment.
• Ex: Tuna (fish) and dolphins (mammals). They are an
unrelated species living in a similar environment, the ocean.
• Faced similar evolutionary pressures.
• Defined: Describes evolution toward different
traits in closely related species.
– Cause: Different environments

Divergent Evolution
Divergent Evolution
Coevolution
Coevolution
• Defined: Two or more species evolve in response to
changes in each other
– Evolutionary paths become connected
– Both species receive benefits from the other as a result of adaptations.
• Ex: Plants and Insects
– Plants: provide insects with nectar
– Insect: transfers pollen from one plant to another
• Coevolution can occur in competitive relationships,
sometimes called an evolutionary arms race.
– Example: Crab vs. Snail & Bacteria vs. Humans

Extinction
Extinction
• Defined: The elimination of a species from Earth.
• Background Extinctions:
– Cause: Local changes in environment
– Forest fires, habitat destruction.
– Affects a few species in a small area
– Less severe.
– Occur at roughly the same rate as
speciation
• Mass Extinctions:
– Cause: Catastrophic events
– Ice Age, Meteorites
– Destroys many species at global level
– Very severe
– Rare but much more intense
– At least 5 mass extinctions in
last 600 million years
How Fast Does Evolution Occur?
How Fast Does Evolution Occur?
• Gradualism:
Slow & steady change of
1 species into another
– Small changes continually
build over time
Punctuated Equilibrium:
Long periods of little change are
interrupted by shorter periods of
rapid change.
– Due to sudden environment change
– Ex: Mammal diversity exploded
after dinosaur extinction
Gradualism

• Adaptive radiation: A process of evolution where one species can split into a number of different species.
– Ancestral species diversifies into many descendent species
– Each adapted to a different environment
• Ex: Mammals
