3 spikes; smaller; armored;
benthic; nest; females; eggs
…: zones where two previously isolated populations are in the same location and interbreed
hybrid zones
the formation of a hybrid zone has three possible outcomes:
…: results in 2 species
…: results in 1 species
…: results in 2 species + hybrid (hybrid limited to the ..)
reinforcement
fusion
stability; hybrid zone
hypotheses about sticklebacks:
benthic and limnetic sticklebacks evolved in Paxton from a …
benthic and limnetic sticklebacks evolved in Paxton from … ancestral species, one of which arrived in Paxton Lake … after the first
single ancestral species
two different; some time
…: formation of two or more descendant species from a single ancestral species all occupying the same geographic location
sympatric
sympatric speciation via specialization:
natural selection eliminates medium-billed birds in an enviro with no medium-sized seeds, and favors small-billed birds and large-billed birds in response to the availability of small/large seeds
…, if strong enough and sustained enough, may eventually lead to sympatric speciation
disruptive selection
… selection: selection favoring more “extreme” individuals can lead to speciation as individuals occupy different ecological niches esp if mating within each extreme is more common than mating between extremes
disruptive selection
sympatric modes of reproductive isolation
pre-zygotic:
…, …, and … (niche)
behavior; temporal; ecological
speciation:
parental pop splits, producing two “…” populations that are geographically isolated from each other
different … accumulate separately in each population
the extent of genetic divergence is a function of …
daughter; mutations; time since isolation
…: diagram of evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms
phylogenetic tree
how does migration/gene flow affect the evolution of a population?
…:gene flow reduces variation between two species
homogenization
…: … of relationships among species/groups of species
phylogeny; hypothesis
…: process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species to a multitude of new forms
adaptive radiation
speciation on an archipelago:
a few individuals of a species on the mainland reached isolated island 1. speciation follows genetic divergence in a new habitat
later in time, a few individuals of the new species colonize … in this new habitat, speciation follows genetic divergence
speciation may also follow colonization of islands … and … and it may follow … of island by a genetically different descendant of the ancestral specie
island 2;
3; 4; invasion
adaptive radiations are common on …
island chains
…: speciation with no gene flow between diverging populations
allopatric
dispersal with small new population: … speciation
in this type of speciation, the ancestral population seeds a small peripheral population (e.g. on an island), divergence occurs over time, but most of the change accumulates in the … population
acts like a … event
peripatric; small; founder
why are adaptive radiations common on island chains?
founder events can lead to …
peripatric speciation
why are adaptive radiations common on island chains?
sympatric speciation can occur as species evolve to …
fill different (empty) niches
convergent evolution of niches by Anoles as a result of … on different islands
sympatric speciation
