<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="1-1"><div class="lab-step">NOTE: A cladogram is an important tool for forming an evolutionary hypothesis. A cladogram is a tree-shaped chart used to depict the hypothetical genealogical relationships between species. The tips or leaves of the chart represent specific species and the branches of the tree are different lengths. The different lengths represent the degree of change between each of the species. The common ancestor of all of the species that a specific line branches from is located at a node, where the branches intersect. Species that share a node are called a sister group.

NOTE: Your query sequence is represented by the blue line at the top of the box. Each of the lines below the blue line represents another sequence in the BLAST database that matches your query. The length and location of these bars represent where and how much of the sequence match up to the query. The color of the bar represents its score, or how identical the sequence is to the query. Below the graphic summary is the Sequences producing significant alignments list, which contains descriptions of the DNA sequences retrieved from the database that most closely align with the query sentence. These are listed in descending order, from the most similar at the top to the least similar at the bottom. On the right, there are several statistics on how closely related each database sequence is to the experimental sequence. The higher the Max, Total, Query Coverage, and Identity scores are, the more similar the query and retrieved sequences are to each other. Similarly, the lower the E value number, the less likely the sequences match was found by random chance and more significantly the alignment is accurate. An E value of 0 indicates a highly significant match.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-4"><div class="lab-step">Then, repeat the observations for each of the other two bacterial species.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-5"><div class="lab-step">To perform Gram staining of your three bacterial species, first label the ends of three microscope slides with the initials of each bacteria species, your initials, and the date. HYPOTHESES: In this experiment, the experimental hypothesis might be that it is possible to elucidate different bacterial species and shapes using Gram staining, and that Gram-positive bacteria will stain purple with crystal violet whereas Gram-negative bacteria will appear pink due to the safranin counterstain. The null hypothesis could be that all of the bacterial types will retain both stains equally, and staining will not help elucidate their species or shape.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-6"><div class="lab-step">To begin the first stain, attach a clip to the slide for ease of handling. For each bacterial smear, remember to be sure to use a cleaned and flame-sterilized inoculating loop.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-12"><div class="lab-step">Carefully rinse the slide with distilled water by aiming the direct flow towards the top of the slide, allowing the water to gently flow down. Do not aim the water flow directly at the smear.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-16"><div class="lab-step">Then, add several drops of safranin counterstain and leave for 30 s. This will stain any Gram-negative cells present.

<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="1-1"><div class="lab-step">Form groups of three. One member of the group will simulate colonization by throwing balls into the groups of cups representing the islands. Another will simulate extinction by rolling dice to randomly remove balls from the cups. The third group member will record the data.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-2"><div class="lab-step">Take time to familiarize yourself with the four island stations. NOTE: There are two large islands with 12 cups and two small islands with 6 cups. Two of the stations will have tape lines that are 2 m away from the cups. These are the far islands. The other two stations will have tape lines that are 1 m away from the cups. These are the near islands. Thus, the stations are far large and near large and far small and near small. HYPOTHESES: In this experiment, one alternate hypothesis might be that the larger islands with more cups will support a greater number of species than the smaller islands. The null hypothesis might be that all islands will support this same number of species regardless of size. Another alternate hypothesis might be that islands closer to the mainland will have a higher colonization rate than islands farther from the mainland. The null hypothesis might be that all islands will have the same colonization rate regardless of their distance from the mainland. Additionally, in all trials we may hypothesize that the colonization rate will be expected to decrease as more species inhabit an island whereas the extinction rate will increase as more species are found on the island. The null hypothesis might be that the colonization rate and extinction rates are expected to stay the same across all numbers of species on the island.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-3"><div class="lab-step">First, choose one of the four stations as a starting place.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-4"><div class="lab-step">From the line of tape at this location, the colonization simulator must throw the ball to the island and try to get the ball into a cup. NOTE: One round consists of five throws, each throw representing a colonization attempt. If the ball lands in a cup that does not already have a ball in it, this is a successful colonization attempt and the ball should be left in the cup.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-5"><div class="lab-step">The data collector should place a tally on the colonizers box for the round in the recording sheet found at the station. <a href="https://www.jove.com/CDNSource/lm/labs/29/Tables_1-4_Island_biogeography.xlsx" style="display:block;margin:20px;" target="_blank">Click Here to download Tables 1-4</a>

NOTE: In a trial at the small island station, follow the same procedure except that it is only necessary to match the number rolled by the die to the cup. If there is no ball in the cup, no extinction is recorded. For both the large and small islands, repeat the extinction roll for a total of two rolls if there are 3 - 8 species present on the island and three rolls if there are 9 - 12 species on the island. If there are fewer than three species on the island, do not roll the die again.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-2"><div class="lab-step">Then, cut the green pipe cleaners in the quantities and lengths specified in the video, taking care to minimize waste. This approximates a normal distribution of lengths and should result in an additional 100 pieces total. NOTE: One 12-inch pipe cleaner should yield multiple lengths, for example, a 5-inch piece and a 7-inch piece. Use this advantage to reduce waste.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-3"><div class="lab-step">Now, cut one sheet of black and one sheet of white construction paper into approximately 3-inch strips measured along the long edge of the paper.

NOTE: In the first simulation, you will use the white, gray, and black pipe cleaner segments against a black and white background to simulate different selection pressures due to predation on a population. You will select your prey using two different strategies, eyes-open and eyes-closed. For each of these strategies, you will perform four rounds consisting of 25 selections, alternating between two partners. After each round you will restore the population back to its original size using the proportions of phenotypes present after selection.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-5"><div class="lab-step">To begin the first scenario, count out 12 white, 12 black, and 26 gray pipe cleaner segments with your partner. Hypotheses: Here the experimental hypothesis might be that different predation strategies, such as having the eyes open or closed, will result in distinct selection pressures on the populations. Further, different phenotypes may be positively selected in the alternate scenarios. The null hypothesis might be that different predation strategies will have no effect on the populations or phenotypes.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-6"><div class="lab-step">Mix the pipe cleaner segments together as best as possible. Then, sprinkle them into the papered tray. NOTE: Ideally, the pipe cleaners will be spread out. However, this may not occur due to their self-adhering nature.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-12"><div class="lab-step">Then, restore the population to 50 by adding one pipe cleaner of the same color for each of the remaining pipe cleaners. Hold these to the side until they are all gathered.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-13"><div class="lab-step">Then, sprinkle the pipe cleaners into the tray as previously described (steps 6-7).

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-14"><div class="lab-step">Remove all pipe cleaners from the tray after the fourth round.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-15"><div class="lab-step">For Scenario 2, again count out 12 white, 12 black, and 26 gray pipe cleaner segments and sprinkle them randomly into the tray.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-16"><div class="lab-step">Follow the same protocol as in Scenario 1. However, when given the signal, the grabbing partner should keep their eyes closed. To aid in accuracy, it may help to position the hand near to the tray before grabbing.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-17"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this process 25 times, switching partner roles, and record the remaining pipe cleaner amounts in the data collection table for Scenario 2.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-18"><div class="lab-step">Then, restore the population to 50 based on that count. Do this for all four rounds. NOTE: In the second simulation, you will be using the eyes-open and eyes-closed predation strategies as previously described to select pipe cleaners of various lengths.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-19"><div class="lab-step">For Scenario 3, gather all 100 of the pipe cleaners that have been cut to varying lengths to represent different phenotypes.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-20"><div class="lab-step">One partner should hold all the pipe cleaners upright and loosely in one hand resting on the tabletop, such that the bottom end of each pipe cleaner rests against the tabletop.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-21"><div class="lab-step">Now, the partner that is not holding the pipe cleaners should close their eyes. When given an audible signal, the partner should open their eyes and grab the first pipe cleaner they see from their partner&#39;s hand.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-22"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this process 50 times (step 21). However, the partners should not switch roles during the round this time. The partner holding the pipe cleaners should always be the one giving the signal and never grabbing from the bunch.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-23"><div class="lab-step">After the first round consisting of 50 selections, count the remaining pipe cleaners by length. Then, record this information in the data collection table for scenario three. <a href="https://www.jove.com/CDNSource/lm/labs/23/Lab_23_Tables_3_and_4.xlsx" style="display:block;margin:20px;" target="__blank">Click Here to download Tables 3 and 4</a>
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-24"><div class="lab-step">Add one pipe cleaner of the same length as each of the remaining ones to restore the population to 100. This will likely require more pipe cleaners than were originally cut. Try to use scraps from the class to reduce waste.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-25"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this for three more rounds, alternating which partner holds or grabs each round.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-26"><div class="lab-step">To perform Scenario 4, gather the varied-length pipe cleaners in their original proportions.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-27"><div class="lab-step">Now repeat the grabbing process, as described in Scenario 3. However, only remove 30 pipe cleaners instead of 50.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-28"><div class="lab-step">Divide the count at the end of each round by two for each phenotype 4 inches or below, rounding fractions down.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-29"><div class="lab-step">Then, record these values in the data recording table for Scenario 4.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-30"><div class="lab-step">Use the relative proportions of the phenotypes in the final population to restore the population to 100. When restoring the population to 100, it may be necessary to calculate relative proportions of phenotypes.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-31"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this for three more rounds, again alternating holding and grabbing the pipe cleaners.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-32"><div class="lab-step">For each scenario calculate the survival for each phenotype, that is the proportion of the phenotype surviving.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-33"><div class="lab-step">Then, calculate the relative fitness, or w, between each round. As reproductive rate does not vary in this simulation, this should always be considered equal, or 1.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-34"><div class="lab-step">Also, calculate the selection coefficients for each phenotype.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-35"><div class="lab-step">Now, use the relative frequencies of each phenotype to create histograms with appropriately labeled axes for each scenario showing the population before any selection took place and then alongside these in a different color after four rounds of selection.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-36"><div class="lab-step">Identify the type of selection taking place in each scenario and label the graphs.
