Hawaiian Honeycreeper Phylogeny The po'ouli (Melamprosops phaeosoma) was discovered in 1973 by a group of students from the University of Hawaii. Its membership in the Hawaiian honeycreeper clade had been controversial, mainly because its appearance and behavior are so different from other living honeycreepers. It particularly lacked the "old tent" odor characteristic of other honeycreepers. In 2011, Heather Lerner and her colleagues deciphered phylogeny of the 19 Hawaiian honeycreepers that were not yet officially declared to be extinct at the time, including the po'ouli. The researchers sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear DNA samples taken from the honeycreepers, and also from 28 other birds (outgroups). Phylogenetic analysis of these data firmly establishes the po'ouli as a member of the clade, and also reveals the Eurasian rosefinch as the clade's closest relative (FIGURE 18.10). FIGURE 18.10 Phylogeny of Hawaiian honeycreepers. This cladogram was constructed using sequence comparisons of mitochondrial DNA (whole genome), and 13 nuclear DNA loci of 19 Hawaiian honeycreepers and 28 other finch species.

Iguana Decline In 1987, Martin Wikelski began a long-term study of marine iguanas in the Galpagos Islands. He marked iguanas on two islandsGenovesa and Santa Feand collected data on how their body size, survival, and reproductive rates varied over time. He found that because iguanas eat algae and have no predators, deaths usually result from food shortages, disease, or old age. In January 2001, an oil tanker ran aground and leaked a small amount of oil into the waters near Santa Fe. FIGURE 44.3 shows the number of marked iguanas that Wikelski and his team counted in their study populations just before the spill and about a year later. FIGURE 44.3 Shifting numbers of marked marine iguanas on two Galpagos islands. An oil spill occurred near Santa Fe just after the January 2001 census (orange bars). A second census was carried out in December 2001 (green bars). Which island had more marked iguanas at the time of the first census?
must DC auypt at sppottmg and Handng prey icIS tlat woUld TathoI Hot OC SCCH and CatCI. II a popuration of prey randomly acquires a mutation that happens to make them blend in more with their environment (i.e. become cryptic), then predators are going to have a harder time finding prey visually. Given how difficult predation is generally, most predators have evolved strategies to minimize their search when hunting. Therefore, prey individuals carrying this new cryptic mutation are more likely to avoid detection as predators focus on and eat relatively more of the individuals that stand out in their habitat. In this way, we can have differential survival and reproduction of prey individuals based on how their heritable phenotype varies in the population- in other words, natural selection can favor cryptic coloration in predator-filled environments. However, natural selection only 'sees' phenotypes, it does not act on organisms' genotypes directly. Therefore, to understand how a trait is…
