Power Notes Flashcards
Occurs when different populations can no longer mate successfully with one another.
Reproductive Isolation
The rise of two or more species from one existing species
Speciation
Caused by differences in mating behaviors
Behavioral Isolation
Involves physical barriers that divide a population (rivers, ocean, and mountains)
Geographic isolation
Timing prevents reproduction between population
Temporal Isolation
Evolution towards similar characteristics in unrelated species
Convergent Evolution
Closely related species evolve in different directions and become increasingly different.
Divergent Evolution
Process in which two or more species evolve in response to changes in each other
Coevolution
Organisms help each other
Beneficial Relationships
Competitive Relationships
Evolutionary arm races
