Chap 24 Origin of Species
Branching evolution which results in more species and more diversity Accumulation of changes leading to a new species
If closely related species become SYMPATRIC or if ALLOPATRIC species start to hybridize and exchange genes they will become ONE species again. If species are to remain as separate species, then they must develop INTRINSIC REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATING MECHANISMS to prevent gene flow and remain separate
Ecological Species Definition: if there is no gene flow between two populations because they prefer different parts of the ecology or habitat, they are considered separate species.
Artemesiae and nebrascensis are considered PARAPATRIC SUBSPECIES although they live in adjacent areas they don’t mate, however there is still gene flow between the subspecies through matings with borealis and sonoriensis
Speciation starts off with EXTRINSIC ISOLATING MECHANISMS the populations are ALLOPATRIC p469 four conditions which favor allopatric speciation
3 Things that will cause the populations to form subspecies: • Different selection pressure. • Different mutations. • Different starting gene frequencies (founder effect) • Small populations may be subject to genetic drift (random change in gene freq.) • If the area is relatively unexploited, adaptive radiation may occur.
Some races may become so specialized that they no longer interbreed with races
A ring species range is so large that it circles back on itself – some ranges may circle around the earth
Because of sexual selection B and C don’t mate Because of ecological competition B and C become more different from each other.
This process can occur many times as long as the ecology can support the different types of birds this results in adaptive radiation.
1. How many different species descended from the species that colonized the first island? Identify them. three; B, C, and D
2. Why is species A no longer present on these islands? How is that change different from what happened to species B? Species A evolved into species B and no longer exists as a separate species. Species B is the common ancestor of species C and D, and it continues to coexist with the two newer species.
