Based on what Dr. Jonathan Losos said, why have different lizard species evolved to occupy different parts of the habitats? On Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, you find the same: Based on what you have learned so far, what is the most likely explanation for why the same ecomorphs evolved on both Puerto Rico and Hispaniola? Module 2: Phylogeny Analysis of the DNA sequences of certain genes reveals the evolutionary relationships among different anole species. In this module, you will build a phylogenetic tree of anole species. (Approximate length: 15 minutes) Part I: Generating a Phylogenetic Tree Take the DNA sequences and plug them into the MABL website (just as the directions state) and email the results to yourself. When you receive the email with the link to your phylogenetic tree, forward me the link to my email (), so I know you actually did the tree. Do you notice any differences in the tree you constructed versus the example the phylogenetic tree for the 8 species of lizards? If it is different, why do you think this occurred? Part II: Coloring Tree Branches Construct two trees (Ecomorphs and Island) below using the same colors as the key used in the lab. What patterns do you notice based on the relation of the eight lizard in regards to ecomorph type and island location?
