Patterns and Processes of Evolution

coevolution

• the evolution of one species in response to the evolution in another

• evolution in which unrelated species evolve common features due to a similar niche

• evolution in which one species evolves into two species

• a model of evolution in which species change slowly over time

convergent evolution

• the evolution of one species in response to the evolution in another

• evolution in which unrelated species evolve common features due to a similar niche

• evolution in which one species evolves into two species

• a model of evolution in which species change slowly over time

gradualism

macroevolution

• large changes in a gene pool over a long period of time, leading o the formation of a new species

• the dying off of a large number of species simultaneously due to a large-scale climatic event

• the development of similarities in separate evolutionary lineages due to similar selection pressures

• a model of evolution in which there are long periods of no change followed by short bursts of rapid change/speciation

mass extinction

• large changes in a gene pool over a long period of time, leading o the formation of a new species

• the dying off of a large number of species simultaneously due to a large-scale climatic event

• the development of similarities in separate evolutionary lineages due to similar selection pressures

• a model of evolution in which there are long periods of no change followed by short bursts of rapid change/speciation

parallel evolution

• large changes in a gene pool over a long period of time, leading o the formation of a new species

• the dying off of a large number of species simultaneously due to a large-scale climatic event

• the development of similarities in separate evolutionary lineages due to similar selection pressures

• a model of evolution in which there are long periods of no change followed by short bursts of rapid change/speciation

punctuated equilibrium

• large changes in a gene pool over a long period of time, leading o the formation of a new species

• the dying off of a large number of species simultaneously due to a large-scale climatic event

• the development of similarities in separate evolutionary lineages due to similar selection pressures

• a model of evolution in which there are long periods of no change followed by short bursts of rapid change/speciation
