When constructing phylogenetic trees, what is the purpose of applying maximum parsimony? Parsimony allows the researcher to "root" the tree. For trees based on morphology, the most parsimonious tree requires the maximum evolutionary events. The outgroup roots the tree, allowing the principle of parsimony to be applied. For trees based on morphology, the most parsimonious is the one that uses the simplest explanation of evolutionary events.

Sketch the generated phylogenetic tree below and color the branches of the generated phylogenetic tree according the the island: 1) Anolis sheplani 2) Anolis cybotes 3) Anolis olssoni 4) Anolis celestinus 5) Anolis occultus 6) Anolis cristatellus 7) Anolis puchellus 8) Anolis evermanni Hispaniola Species - Blue Puerto Rico Species - Red 1) What can you conclude about the relatedness of anole lizards living on these two islands?

The diagram below represents the ranges of 3 species (A, B, and C), which are separated by a mountain range and river. It has been hypothesized that these three species arose via vicariance ecological speciation. Specifically, the entire area was originally occupied by a single species. Its range was split first by the mountain range. Later, the river formed, separating populations on the eastern side of the mountains. If this hypothesis is correct, phylogenetic analysis should reveal that: NIS 4 44444 U LEL B All three species are equally related to each other. Species A and B are each other's closest relatives (sister taxa). Species B and C are each other's closest relatives (sister taxa). Species A and Care each other's closest relatives (sister taxa).

The approach to estimating phylogenetic trees is most like the approach of which species concept? 2) A) Morphological species concept B) Biological species conceptC) Subspecies concept D) Phylogenetic species concept Then explain why the answer is correct and the rest are inccorect.

Create a hypothetical phylogenetic tree.

Below is a phylogenetic tree. Which of the following statements is correct? G B C. H. K F Species C and D are called sibling taxa because both are derived from the same parent species H. Species F is more related to species K than species D is. Species A, B, and D share a common ancestor of species I. All species shown are currently with us. All of the above A.

Below are phylogenetic trees depicting the relationships among four species, A, B, C, and D. Which of the following statements is correct?       Tree (1) and Tree (2) are the same tree.     Tree (2) and Tree (4) are the same tree.     Tree (2) and Tree (3) are the same tree.     All four trees are in fact the same tree.     All four trees are in fact different trees.
