PPT-Speciation Section 8.2 Speciation

Learning Goal To explore the factors leading to the evolution of a new species Success Criteria I know I am succeeding when I can define the concept of speciation identify the modes of speciation. Vaccinium. . macrocarpon. ). Brandon . Schlautman. What is a species?. Domain- . Eukarya. Kingdom- Plantae. Phylum- . Magnoliophyta. Class- . Magnoliopsida. Order- . Ericales. Family- . Ericaceae. Is a member of the . Speciation. – formation of a new species . Species. – group of organisms that interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Subspecies. – groups that are on the way to being separate species; have started being genetically different. What is a Species?. Speciation. – the origin of new species. The . biological species concept. defines a species as a population or group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed with one another in nature to produce viable, fertile offspring, but who cannot produce viable, fertile offspring with members of other species. 8.7. Starter. What is speciation?. The evolution of new species from existing species.. Learning Objectives. Define speciation. Describe geographical isolation. Explain how geographical isolation can lead to the formation of new species. Evolution. Speciation Basics. Individuals of different species cannot . interbreed. under natural conditions . Described as being . reproductively isolated . from one another. Populations of different species do . I. Species Definitions. Species represent the boundary for the spread of alleles . and define the unit in which the modes of evolution operate. Biological Species Concept. Individuals belong to the same species if they can interbreed with each other. The rise and fall of biodiversity. Four major mass extinctions of marine organisms:. End of Silurian Devonian, Permian, and Cretaceous). Rise in diversity during Cambrian, Silurian, Cretaceous, and Paleogene. Species. == “kind” or “type” in Latin. Typological . (morphological) species. . == a group of organisms that share certain characteristics which are different than other groups—usually differences in anatomy. . Temporal – crickets mature at different times. Prezygotic. isolation. Habitat – land vs. water garter snakes. Prezygotic. isolation. Behavioral – firefly mating. Prezygotic. isolation. Gametic. Section 1 Vocabulary Pretest. Population Genetics. Microevolution. Gene Pool. Allele Frequency. Phenotype Frequency. Total genetic information in a population. Portion of gene copies of a given allele. Sympatric Speciation. Sympatric Speciation occurs . without. geographic isolation, thus it occurs at a local level. . There is something within the environment that keeps a single species separated into two or more distinct groups.. What defines a species?. Species: a group of organisms that can . interbreed. and produce . fertile. offspring. “Biological Species Concept” . Human species?. Homo sapiens – “wise man” (large brains!). I. Species Definitions. Species represent the boundary for the spread of alleles . and define the unit in which the modes of evolution operate. Biological Species Concept. Individuals belong to the same species if they can interbreed with each other. After reading this module you should be able to. Explain . the processes of allopatric and sympatric speciation.. U. nderstand . the factors that affect the pace of . evolution.. Speciation can be allopatric or sympatric.
