| Central Question: What effect does physical location have on similarities and differences in species? Guiding Thought Question: Connect Tobler's First Law of Geography (Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things) to the idea of genetic diversity between plants or animals from the same family. Today's Learning Objective: Students will work on the methods used to determine common ancestors and link species within a geographic area by constructing a cladogram for the Amazon and then another of their choosing for another region. |  |

Tobler's genetic theory applies to the differences between members of the same family due to the adaptations to local biotic and abiotic factors.

Animals that live in similar physical locations will have similar adaptations to survive compared to animals that live in places with different location/characteristics.

Plants and animals from the same family are gonna usually be more closely related the closer they are to each other

Most scientists believed that every species is related to everything else but also everything is genetically different because species adapt to new environments

The environment will force the animals to adapt the same characteristics. Therefore plants that have been growing in the same environment will pass down those genetics throughout time.

Animals are related by the area they live in because they have similar adaptations. They all live in certain range.

Species can be related, but species that live near eachother will be more closely related and will have similar adaptations.

Plants and animals of the same family that are closer to each other have more similar features than flora and fauna that are farther, for example rams and antelopes, compared to antelopes and gazelles.

organisms that are closer to each other will have similar adaptations if they live in the same biome. If two animals from the same family don't live close to each other then they will adapt and evolve separately, making the changes between them greater

Animals would have similar physical traits to live in the same environment to live and thrive.

The closer things are they are more related because they’ve adapted to the climate and have been there through decades which is how you get different families.

If plants and animals from the same family get spread out, they will adapt to that environment

Physical location affects species similarities and differences because species closer to one another will have to adapt to a similar environment where species far apart will be adapting to different environments

Animals that that live in similar geographic locations will share similar adaptations.

Species that have the same genetics look different and seem different due to evolution over time and the way they had to adapt to their environment

One family can change over time and some stay the same branching off each other over time creating small differences. These changes are caused by moving to different locations and variants in biomes.

Tobler’s first law of geography is related to the idea of genetic diversity within families because the further away the species are from their families, the more their environment will change. Therefore, their genes will develop in order for them to survive. At the end, the same species of a family will have have differences in their genes

Organisms that live in a similar, close environment will be more related because they are faced with the same biotic and abiotic factors.

animals that live in the same area will have similar adaptations of not the same.

Animals from the same family can spread out and change and adapt to their different environments.

Animals that are closer in area will have similar adaptations because they live in similar conditions.

animals from the same family would live nearer to each other but the slight variations in environment would result in different adaptations and therefore slight differences in members of the same family

Tobler’s first law relates to genetic diversity that species near each other are more related because the species of the same environment have similar adaptations to each other

Animals that live in similar environments will most likely be closely related. Animals that live farther may be similar but will most likely not.

Animals and plants from similar families will have similar adaptations. Animals and plants from similar areas will also have similar adaptations

animals in similar areas will have similar adaptations. they will have a thicker coat if its cold or if its a bird a different beak for different foods in an area.

All mammals are somewhat related in terms of genetics but a pair of siblings would be significantly more related.

Animals that live in similar habitats will have similar adaptations and those that live in different locations will also have different adaptations.

Animals are all distantly related but smaller taxonomic groupings are more closely related
