Q5: Consider the following two hypotheses... H1: Anolis lizards diversified into several ecotypes on one island. The various ecotypes then dispersed to other islands, and eventually evolved into separate species. H 2 : A single Anolis species arrived on each island, and speciated to produce the different ecotypes, which look similar on different islands due to convergent evolution. How would you use genetic data to distinguish between these hypotheses? What would you expect to see if H 1 is correct vs. H2? [Type your answer here] Q6: Paste a copy of the provided phylogeny and your MABL tree below. Are there any differences? Do they seem like really important differences or minor differences, and why? [paste image] [Type your thoughts here] Q7: Paste your phylogenetic trees colored by ecomorph and island below. [paste image] Q8: Based on these trees, fill in the blanks in the following paragraph to form a hypothesis of the evolutionary history of these species, and justify your answers below: An ancestral population of lizards lived on the island of living in/on
q,They began to diversify, and some of these lizards then colonized the island of There, they diversified further, and some began to specialize in living in/on
q,migrated to . Finally, some of these new specialists and diversified again.
