Q

biological species concept

A
  • species is a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring
  • they do not breed successfully with other populations

Q

A

Q

geographic isolation

A
  • there’s a physical barrier btwn two populations(ocean, mountain range)

Q

what is an example of behavioral isolation?

A
  • the blue and red footed boobies

- both bird’s dance will appear “wrong” to the other species bc they’re attracting mates of their own species

Q

mechanical isolation

A
  • when there’s a physical difference btwn individuals that prevents the transfer of gametes
  • i.e. penis size may be to big/small

17
Q

hybrid breakdown

A
  • animals of 2 different species mate & offspring is fertile but its offspring is infertile
  • “breakdown in fertility across the generations”
18
Q

hybrid inviability

A

-hybrid embryos or born babies don’t make it to adulthood

19
Q

hybrid infertility

A

-hybrid offspring live, but are unable to reproduce

20
Q

dispersal isolation

A

-same thing as founder effect, just associated with speciation

21
Q

vicariance isolation

A
  • a geographic barrier pops up and splitting an ancestral population that used to be interbreeding into 2 non interbreeding populations
  • i.e. the movement of the tectonic plates
22
Q

“missing link” isolation

A
  • chain of separated populations that’re close enough to move in btwn intervening space but if intermediate population goes extinct, the two outer populations are too far apart to make any seeds go back and forth from both leftover populations
  • therefore the flow of genes btwn both populations are cut off/isolated
23
Q

three types of allopatric speciation

A

-dispersal, variance, “missing link”

24
Q

how do the different microevolutionary forces affect the chances of speciation?

A
  • can force evolution to occur in daughter population and push them along a different tragectory
  • gene flow counters isolation
25
Q

drift mutation

A

-random changes in allee frequency could lead to new phenotypes or behaviors that could isolate the 2 populations

26
Q

drift mutation

A

-random changes in allee frequency could lead to new phenotypes or behaviors that could isolate the 2 populations

27
Q

polyploidy

A

-nondisjunction could result in a tetraploid and it can either self fertilize w other tetraploids but cannot mate with parental species

28
Q

sympatric speciation

A
  • the formation of a new species as a result of a genetic change that produces a reproductive barrier btwn the changed population and the parent population
  • no geographic barrier is present
29
Q

adaptive radiation

A

-a series of evolutionary events that results in an array (radiation) of related species that live in a variety of environments differing in the characteristics each uses to exploit those environments

30
Q

subspecies

A

-poplations have taken a step toward speciation by diverging in some detectable way

31
Q

ring species

A
  • some sub species groups have a ring shaped distribution
  • caused by the central area being uninhabitable
  • all areas where species’s areas meet, they make hybrids except for where ring comes back down
    • -> at this point, the species is reproductively isolated
32
Q

what is an example of hybrid breakdown?

A
  • liger/tigon

- live in same areas but different habitats, can still breed but offspring in generation after Liger are infertile

33
Q

what is an example of temporal isolation?

A
  • wild lettuce

- they flower in different seasons so they won’t fertilize one another but they can if done in a lab

34
Q

what is an example of gametic isolation?

A
  • abalone

- directly release their gametes into the water

35
Q

what is an example of hybrid infertility?

A
  • mule

- donkey and horse make a mule but the mule’s infertile

36
Q

what is an example of variance isolation?

A
  • cycads (seabearing plant)
  • found on Gondawanaland and dispersed throughout the world after Pangea split up
  • species on different continents are very different
37
Q

what is an example of sympatric speciation?

A
  • chichlid fish
  • 15 different species inhabit one area in lake so sympatric speciation is assumed to have occurred
  • pea aphids (flower eating insect)
  • if they try eating a new type of flower, their fitness goes down
38
Q

what is an example of adaptive radiation?

A
  • tarweeds and silverswords
  • 50 species of plant on Hawaiian islands is believed to derive from tarweed
  • gave rise to silversword plants which are tall
39
Q

what is an example of a subspecies?

A
  • rat snakes
  • areas where the different species meet make hybrids
  • their subspecies distribution give great insight into speciation
40
Q

what is an example of a ring species?

A
  • salamanders
  • live in Cali & do well in costal/mountain areas but cannot survive in desert which is located in the middle of Cali
41
Q

how does allopatric speciation occur?

A
  • event splits pop. into 2, no gene flow btwn

- population eventually differentiate and is no longer able to reproduce from one or more isolations
