Homework:Stamp for Chapter 7 Notes Monday, 10/28Evolution Cornell Noted due Monday

Take a blank sheet of paper out.Title it Hydraulic Fracking Perspective Click through the PowerPoint, play the youtube links on each of the slides and watch the videos, take notes.

The Oil/Gas is in Black.How do we get it?Shale Rock where the gas/oil is.

The effects on the habitat.

Copy this down. Two sides of Fracking IssueEnvironmentalistDestroy the environment by cause air, water pollution. Loss of habitat for local animals.Aesthetically uglyMore traffic more noise.Industrial/EconomicMakes jobsMakes money for the federal, state, local government. Be energy self sufficient and not need to import from overseas.DUE in 20 minutes: On your paper pick one of these perspectives and write a 1-2 paragraph persuasive argument about why they are correct. Turn in when done (20 minutes)

8.5 to 8.9 Evolution and Human Impacts

APES Learning Goal:I can explain the effects of fracking on the environment. I can explain the effects of fracking on the environment.

Linear Evolution a common misconception

Figure 8-11Evolution is similar to a tree with branches

Figure 8-12Species live, fertile offspring

Evolution: genetic differences of successive populations change over time2.Macroevolution long term, large-scale changes. Ex: land mammals to whales.

How does this happen?

Microevolution - small genetic changes in population that happen over a short time frame

Mutations can creates genetic diversity. Can be harmless, lethal, beneficial, random / unpredictable and a rare source of new traits

Gene pool - All of the genes in a population Reproductive Isolationgenetic variation different fur thickness Natural selection beneficial adaptations survive End Result -Evolution

Galapagos Tortoise Different Islands different shell shapes? Why?

Types of Natural Selection

1. Directional Selection a variation is beneficial and the gene pool shifts towards one extreme.

Stabilizing Selection -the extremes are not well adapted and the average variations are favored.

Disruptive Selection both extremes are advantageous and being average is not.

Coevolution The flower produces nectar that provides the perfect nutrition for the bird, and exists in colors that the bird sees best. Meanwhile the bird's beak is perfectly shaped to drink from the flowers. The flower provides food for the bird, and the bird, by drinking from several different flowers spread pollen between flowers.

So. What does Survival of the Fittest Mean?The ability to SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE is th e most fit. NOT (always)THE STRONGEST could be smallest, largest, fastest, slowest, etc.

APES Learning Goal:I can explain ecosystem Diversity

Major Sources of ChangeContinental DriftRapid/Gradual Climate ChangeHuman influenced changes ex. Loss of biodiversity from deforestation.

Extinction the loss of a speciesBackground extinction rate the rate at which species go extinct under typical slowly changing local conditions. Mass Extinction - Due to a major event large numbers of species die out quickly.5 mass extinctions in Earths historyWe are the cause of the 6th

Mass Extinctions

Adaptive Radiation Dinosaurs going extinct left a lot of empty niches that were filled by mammals..

Please answer the question on the next slide and turn in. Closure Question

A question about a pet tarantula. I got him about 5 months ago in June. He's most definitely a land tarantula and ever since I got him a home to live in (a terrarium with smooth sides) he has always been trying to climb on the walls but his feet just slip off the walls. On Tuesday I came home and all of his legs were on the wall but one was still holding him up from the ground. Today, Thursday, I got home from school and he was crawling on the top of the wall/ceiling and it seems as if his feet now have suction cup or sticky bottoms that allow him to crawl on the walls. Do you think it's possible that my tarantula could have adapted this much in less than 5 months? I was really curious and it couldn't wait until Monday.

*Mutualism: Hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowersCertain types of hummingbird have coevolved with certain flowers to form a mutualistic relationship. The flower produces nectar that provides the perfect nutrition for the bird, and exists in colors that the bird sees best. Meanwhile the bird's beak is perfectly shaped to drink from the flowers. The flower provides food for the bird, and the bird, by drinking from several different flowers spread pollen between flowers. A similar example would be the honey bee, another animal that has coevolved with a plant, the flower providing food, and the animal providing a means of pollination. There are actually several insects and plants that have coevolved in this manner. **
