Lecture #14 Week #12
A.K. Morris, Ph.D.
Cladistics:
Cladistics: Strategy of classifying organisms to reflect evolutionary historyUses traits called 'shared derived characters’ to construct a tree or cladogram.
7
Shared derived characters(example)
Novel trait evolved in one spp & shared by its descendentsEx. All mammals w/ mammary glands
8
Molecular Genetics
Now-a-days we compare DNA sequences within species and between speciesVery powerful when used together with cladistics

A.K. Morris, Ph.D.
Zooxanthellae enhances calcification
Free calcium and bicarbonate ions:Ca2+ + 2HCO3
- = Ca(HCO3)2
Leads to calcium carbonate and carbon acid:Ca(HCO3)2 = CaCO3 + H2CO3

Sensory systems:3 main systems in fish (a 4th only in sharks)1. Sight: good but not primary system
rods & cones
2. Olfaction (smell): Highly developed⅔ of brain involved in processing

3. Lateral line: canals running length of body & over headDetects water movement
© N. Konstantinou 1995
4. Ampullae of Lorenzini: pits that sense electrical currents in waterONLY in sharks and chimaeraCan detect 1/10 of millivolt

115
How do they do it?
Larger blood volumeHuman = 7% of body wtElephant Seal = 12%
Myoglobin in musclesHolds more O2
116

Echolocation(biosonar)
Sound waves for distinguishing and locating objects from several metersOrientation clicks: general idea of surroundingsDiscrimination clicks: give precise picture of an object
Can distinguish between two 2” objects
Sound from larynx (squeeze air)Focused through melonReceived through jaw to ears

121Sperm whale click sounds… 122
Sperm whale adaptations summary
Large triangular flukes for propulsion
Large blood volume (rich in hemoglobin)
Myoglobin in muscles
Highly efficient lungs
Flexible ribcage allows for easy lung collapse
Heart rate slows during dive
Shunt blood to brain and essential organs as O2 level gets low
Any gas bubbles are filtered from blood by a network of blood vessels called ritiamirabilia
Spermaceti used to regulate buoyancy during dive
Gas (mostly N2) from compressed lungs enters rigid trachea where virtually no gas is absorbed into the blood. Helps prevent “the bends”.
Nasal passages filled with cold water cools spermaceti to a solid.Expelling water allows body temperature to warm spermaceti to a liquid
