The evolution of new species of large organisms is sometimes termed “macroevolution,” to
distinguish it from evolution in bacteria, which happens so frequently and quickly that it is
unremarkable. The problem with really understanding macroevolution is that it is slow. The good
thing is that Darwin developed the theory over 150 years ago, so we’ve had long enough to
observe some pretty remarkable cases of macroevolution. Write a short case study (one
paragraph is probably enough – but write it out, don’t cut-and-paste) describing a recent example
of macroevolution that has been documented scientifically. Do not describe changes in bacteria
for this question.
Solution
Macroevolution is a slow and gradual process and it is less understood in comparison with
microevolution. Macroevolution is regarded as Grand-scale evolution as it paved the way for the
creation of new species like eukaryotes from prokaryotes, adaptive radiation of mammals or we
can even consider the extinction of dinosaurs.
The macroevolution evidences will be gained either from fossils or by comparing the living
organisms. Examples are macroevolution are evolution of flowering plants from seed plants,
birds evolving from dinosaurs, four legs or tetrapod animals evolving from fish or the origin of
whales also considered as one of the best example for macroevolution and is well documented.
Specializations of migrant fishes and birds to different habitats can be discussed under adaptive
radiation and is well documented under macroevolution. Examples for intraspecific
macroevolution is trophic specializations shown by finches and cichlid fishes. Under
macroevolution scientists has documented the diversity of taxa of a variety of organisms like
salamanders, fishes, bees, butterflies etc.
The flowering plants are known to show the intra specific macroevolution with respect to the
characters like possession of a corolla tube or an inferior ovary or hormonal changes etc.
