    Lineages, Splits and Divergence Challenge Whether the Terms Anagenesis and Cladogenesis Are Necessary

    Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, , – . With 2 figures. Lineages, splits and divergence challenge whether the terms anagenesis and cladogenesis are necessary FELIX VAUX*, STEVEN A. TREWICK and MARY MORGAN-RICHARDS Ecology Group, Institute of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Received 3 June 2015; revised 22 July 2015; accepted for publication 22 July 2015 Using the framework of evolutionary lineages to separate the process of evolution and classification of species, we observe that ‘anagenesis’ and ‘cladogenesis’ are unnecessary terms. The terms have changed significantly in meaning over time, and current usage is inconsistent and vague across many different disciplines. The most popular definition of cladogenesis is the splitting of evolutionary lineages (cessation of gene flow), whereas anagenesis is evolutionary change between splits. Cladogenesis (and lineage-splitting) is also regularly made synonymous with speciation. This definition is misleading as lineage-splitting is prolific during evolution and because palaeontological studies provide no direct estimate of gene flow. The terms also fail to incorporate speciation without being arbitrary or relative, and the focus upon lineage-splitting ignores the importance of divergence, hybridization, extinction and informative value (i.e. what is helpful to describe as a taxon) for species classification. We conclude and demonstrate that evolution and species diversity can be considered with greater clarity using simpler, more transparent terms than anagenesis and cladogenesis. Describing evolution and taxonomic classification can be straightforward, and there is no need to ‘make words mean so many different things’. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, 00, 000–000.

The image on the cover and title page is a stylized dendrogram of paraphyly (see Plate 1.1). This is, in macroevolutionary terms, an ancestral taxon of two (or more) species or of molecular strains of one taxon giving rise to a descendant taxon (unconnected comma) from one ancestral branch. The image on the back cover is a stylized dendrogram of two, genus-level speciational bursts or dis- silience. Here, the dissilient genus is the basic evolutionary unit (see Plate 13.1). This evolutionary model is evident in analysis of the moss Didymodon (Chapter 8) through superoptimization. A super- generative core species with a set of radiative, specialized descendant species in the stylized tree com- promises one genus. In this exemplary image; another genus of similar complexity is generated by the core supergenerative species of the first.

    GEOLOGY OF THE MOUNT BRUSSILOF MAGNESITE DEPOSIT, SOUTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA (825/12, 13) By George J. Simandl and Kirk D. Hancock KEYWOKLIS: Industrial minerals, rconomic geology. mag- nesitr. Cathedral Formation. Middle Cambrian. dolumitiz- tion, porosity. base metal association, deposit model. INTRODUCTION Magnesite (M&O,) is an induswial mineral that can bc converted into either caustic, fused or dead-burned magne- sia. Dead-burned magnesia is used mainly in the manufac- ture of refractory products; caustic magnesia is used in treatment of water, in animal feedstuffs, fertilizers. magne- sia cements, insulating boards and wood-pulp processing, in chemicals and pharmaceuticals and us a curing agent in rubber (Coope. 19X7). Magnesium metal is produced either from magnesite or from caustic mapnesia. In the short-term future. production of dead-burned mag- nesia is cxpectcd to remain constant. however, demand for caustic magnesia is increasing (Duncan, IYYO). With the increasing trend toward the use of high-perfomxmce “mag- carbon” refractories. future demand for fused magnesia looks promising. A number of magnesite deposits are known in British Columbia (Grzant, 19X7). the most important of these is the Mount Brussilof orebody. It is hosted by dolomites of the TECTONIC SETTING Middle Cambrian Cathedral Formation. The Mount Brussilof deposit is located in the Forekm3 rectonostratiEnlphic belt and within the “Kicking Horse HISTORY Rim”, as defined by Aitken (1971, 1989). It is situated east of a Cambrian bathymetric feature commonly referred to as The Mount Brussilof deposit was discovered during the Cathedral escarpment (Fritz. 1990: Aitken xnd regional mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada Mcllreath, 19X4, 1990).

  • A Model of Mass Extinction

    A Model of Mass Extinction

    A model of mass extinction M. E. J. Newman Cornell Theory Center, Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853. and Santa Fe Institute, 1399 Hyde Park Road, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Abstract A number of authors have in recent years proposed that the processes of macroevo- lution may give rise to self-organized critical phenomena which could have a sig- nificant effect on the dynamics of ecosystems. In particular it has been suggested that mass extinction may arise through a purely biotic mechanism as the result of so-called coevolutionary avalanches. In this paper we first explore the empirical evidence which has been put forward in favor of this conclusion. The data center principally around the existence of power-law functional forms in the distribution of the sizes of extinction events and other quantities. We then propose a new math- ematical model of mass extinction which does not rely on coevolutionary effects and in which extinction is caused entirely by the action of environmental stresses on species. In combination with a simple model of species adaptation we show that this process can account for all the observed data without the need to invoke coevo- lution and critical processes. The model also makes some independent predictions, such as the existence of “aftershock” extinctions in the aftermath of large mass extinction events, which should in theory be testable against the fossil record. arXiv:adap-org/9702003v1 12 Feb 1997 1 Introduction Building on ideas first put forward by Kauffman (1992), there has in re- cent years been increasing interest in the possibility that evolution may be a self-organized critical phenomenon (Sol´eand Bascompte 1996, Bak and Paczuski 1996).

This period also documents a major change in Evolution the nature of the sea floor: Neoproterozoic-type substrates stabilized by microbial mats were replaced by un- fl Sea oor consolidated soft substrates with a well-developed mixed layer. The effect of this transition on the ecology and Attachment evolution of benthic metazoans is termed the Cambrian Substrate Revolution (CSR), and this is thought to have impacted greatly on early suspension-feeding echinoderms in particular. According to this paradigm, most echinoderms rested directly on non-bioturbated soft substrates as sediment attachers and stickers during the Cambrian Epoch 2. As the substrates became increasingly disturbed by burrowing, forming a progressively thickening mixed layer, echinoderms developed new strategies for attaching to firm and hard substrates.

Rahman2, Andrew B. Smith1* 1 Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom, 2 School of Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom Abstract Echinoderms are unique in being pentaradiate, having diverged from the ancestral bilaterian body plan more radically than any other animal phylum. This transformation arises during ontogeny, as echinoderm larvae are initially bilateral, then pass through an asymmetric phase, before giving rise to the pentaradiate adult. Many fossil echinoderms are radial and a few are asymmetric, but until now none have been described that show the original bilaterian stage in echinoderm evolution. Here we report new fossils from the early middle Cambrian of southern Europe that are the first echinoderms with a fully bilaterian body plan as adults. Morphologically they are intermediate between two of the most basal classes, the Ctenocystoidea and Cincta.

  • A Stem Group Echinoderm from the Basal Cambrian of China and the Origins of Ambulacraria

    A Stem Group Echinoderm from the Basal Cambrian of China and the Origins of Ambulacraria

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09059-3 OPEN A stem group echinoderm from the basal Cambrian of China and the origins of Ambulacraria Timothy P. Topper 1,2,3, Junfeng Guo4, Sébastien Clausen 5, Christian B. Skovsted2 & Zhifei Zhang1 Deuterostomes are a morphologically disparate clade, encompassing the chordates (including vertebrates), the hemichordates (the vermiform enteropneusts and the colonial tube-dwelling pterobranchs) and the echinoderms (including starfish). Although deuter- 1234567890():,; ostomes are considered monophyletic, the inter-relationships between the three clades remain highly contentious. Here we report, Yanjiahella biscarpa, a bilaterally symmetrical, solitary metazoan from the early Cambrian (Fortunian) of China with a characteristic echinoderm-like plated theca, a muscular stalk reminiscent of the hemichordates and a pair of feeding appendages. Our phylogenetic analysis indicates that Y. biscarpa is a stem- echinoderm and not only is this species the oldest and most basal echinoderm, but it also predates all known hemichordates, and is among the earliest deuterostomes. This taxon confirms that echinoderms acquired plating before pentaradial symmetry and that their history is rooted in bilateral forms. Yanjiahella biscarpa shares morphological similarities with both enteropneusts and echinoderms, indicating that the enteropneust body plan is ancestral within hemichordates. 1 Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Early Life and Environments, State Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics and Department of Geology, Northwest University, 710069 Xi’an, China. 2 Department of Palaeobiology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007104 05, Stockholm, Sweden. 3 Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK. 4 School of Earth Science and Resources, Key Laboratory for the study of Focused Magmatism and Giant Ore Deposits, MLR, Chang’an University, 710054 Xi’an, China.
