III. Evolutionary Context: How Interactions Shape Genera - Coggle Diagram
Topics and Subtopics:
- How inter-generic interactions (e.g., hybridization, geographical isolation) lead to speciation within genera.
- The role of gene flow and genetic drift in shaping the diversity of genera.
- Adaptive Radiation and Genera
- How environmental factors and inter-generic interactions drive the diversification of genera (e.g., Darwin’s finches in the Galápagos Islands, where multiple genera evolved from a common ancestor).
- Examples of adaptive radiation leading to the formation of new genera in response to ecological pressures.
- Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolutionary History
- How molecular data (DNA, RNA) helps trace the evolutionary history and interactions between genera.
- Constructing phylogenetic trees to visualize evolutionary relationships between genera.
