The “Progression Rule” of biogeography states that the oldest islands of an archipelago will host the oldest lineages of a radiation and the youngest islands will host the youngest lineages. The Hawaiian islands offer a number of examples of progression, one of which is depicted below.
First, do Darwin’s Giant Daisies follow the Progression Rule? Second, describe a historical process of diversification and dispersal that might be responsible for the pattern you actually observe for Scalesia. This needn’t be completely precise—I don’t want every dispersal event documented!—just sufficient to capture the general process. (as a hint, he told me to consider speciation, extinction, and/or dispersal as the historical processes)

- Crickets have colonized each island in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Geological data indicates that Kauai is the oldest island in the chain and Hawaii is the youngest.

B) Coalescent-based methods have the most advanced evolutionary models of molecular evolution, which is important for phylogenomic analysis were hundreds to thousands of gene histories are analyzed. C) Coalescent-based methods are no more important than other types of phylogenetic inference, even for phylogenomic analyses. D) None of the above.arrow_forward
