         <description><![CDATA[<div>Animals in the Mustelidae family can live in terrestrial habitats or aquatic. Aquatically the organisms can live in freshwater or marine, they can be found in marshes, but not naturally on oceanic islands. Some terrestrial locations include, prairies, steppes, treeless tundras, and forests. Organisms in the family are not naturally found in Antarctica, Australia, or Madagascar. They have been introduced to New Zealand in 2005.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

Before almost becoming extinct, they ranged the from The North American Great Plains and anywhere prairie dogs were. Now, they are found in Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, Mexico.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Although we don’t know which we know that mustelids evolved from a common ancestor due to their morphology and phylogeny. An example of divergent evolution is the difference between a wolverine and a sea otter. A wolverine is a vicious land predator, while a sea otter is a playful sea animal. These two organisms both evolved from the same common ancestor but overtime in order to survive they diverged into different species, one is a land animal and one is a sea animal.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Mustelids have evolved to produce better chances of surviving offspring. They do so by embryonic diapause. Meaning, they can delay the time of birth of their offspring to ensure the kit is ready for life and will live. The newborn will continue to grow during diapause. this shows that in order to survive more, mustelids perform embryonic diapause to produce more successful offspring. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>All organisms in the animalia kingdom are mobile meaning they have some sort of limb, or fin that allows them to be accessible. The organisms in the family mustelidae all have legs with paws and claws. The wolverine has large flat feet which allow it to walk through thick snow easier. The black-footed ferret has larger front paws and sharp claws that are used to dig. Finally, the sable has extremely sharp claws in order to hunt and kill prey. This shows that they all had a common ancestor, as they all have 4 legs, each with five digits, and claws. However, they evolved in order to survive in their environments.<br><br></div>]]></description>

For instance, all the organisms are endothermic and therefore have fur and smaller slender body frames to keep warmer in colder climates. They are carnivores so they have sharp teeth to hunt prey. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Most of my fossils are skulls of different organisms in my taxonomic group. They show evolution as the older fossils such as the wolverine, fisher,  and black-footed ferret skulls are triangular shaped. Both of these fossils are dated back over a million years ago, Whereas the newer fossils, dating back to only thousands of years ago,  such as the mink skull and badger skull are more oblong- shaped like an oval. This shows that due to competition, environment, and resources the organisms in my taxonomic group adapted to their surroundings to survive better. These fossils provide how organisms change through time</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>a) DNA or RNA analysis <br> In a study the mtDNA of a sable and pine marten were examined before they were mated. They had low differentiation levels and were able to form a hybrid. This hybrids mtDNA resembled the sable's more than the pine marten. This proves evolution because if a pine marten and a sable continue to mate, more and more organisms with a resemblance to the sable will survive and reproduce potentially cutting out the pine marten. <br><br></div><div><br></div><div>b)  Chromosomal analysis</div><div>The sable has 38 chromosomes, the black-footed ferret has 40 chromosomes. and the wolverine has 42 chromosomes. This shows that these organisms are complex, and although they have different chromosome numbers, they’re closely related as the sable and the wolverine are only separated by 4 chromosomes.  </div><div><br></div><div>c)  Protein analysis</div><div> The wolverine, black-footed ferret, and the sable all have the protein IRBP. IRBP is the interphotoreceptor retinoid building protein. There are some differences, but mainly the IRBP protein in all these animals is the same and is necessary when they use their vision for hunting. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The black-footed ferret population went under a bottleneck effect in 1986 due to disease, habitat loss, and poisoning. They were reduced to 18 ferrets but due to conservation efforts now have 750 ferrets living in the wild was last recorded in 2008. Before 1970 a group of wolverines in Scandinavia had only 2--5 alleles to vary from. This microevolution is genetic drift, and it was heavily place don the isolated wolverines, because they were isolated. Therefore, they didn’t have as many spouses to choose from leaving less genetic variability and therefore more susceptible to death by disease. Sables have a low genetic variability in Hokkaido Japan due to the founder effect. The sables on Hokkaido all evolved from a single common ancestor, therefore their genetic variability is limited to them specifically, leaving no room to increase variability.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>a) Black-footed ferret undergoes directional selection with its paws. It reproduces more offspring with larger front paws in order to be used for digging up food and burrows.<br>b) The sable undergoes directional selection as well through its size. If its too large it is not fast enough to run away from predators, catch prey, or keep in body heat. However, a small body will do all of this.<br>c) Finally, the wolverine also undergoes directional selection. The wolverine is the largest animal in the mustelidae family, and one of the most vicious. it uses its extreme huge size, to maintain a tough stocky build to take down prey easily. if they were too small, they wouldn't be able to capture their prey as effectively and would suffer death consequences.</div>]]></description>
