PPT-Macroevolution: Part III Sympatric Speciation

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 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. EVOLUTION #1 (Group 3). Strawberry Frogs Forever. Participants: Lin Xiang. Ingo . Schlupp. Tiffany Roberts. Anne . Grippo. Jerry Farris. Facilitators: Brooke . 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. Brian O. ’. Meara. EEB464 Fall . 2015. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lopTMhAbXoI. Initiation of speciation. Maintenance of current species. Prezygotic. Postzygotic. Zygote image © Laboratoire de Biologie de la Reproduction; Lausanne, image downloaded from . 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. Meara. EEB464 Fall . 2017. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lopTMhAbXoI. Learning objectives. Understand factors that can lead to speciation. Consider the geography of speciation. Describe approaches to . 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. Individuals in the same species share a common gene pool. Part C. Allopatric. and Sympatric Speciation: . A Review. In . allopatric. speciation, geographic isolation restricts gene flow between populations. Reproductive isolation may then arise by natural selection, genetic drift, or sexual selection in the isolated populations. 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. you need to know…. I’m a MAMMAL!. The Origin of . Species. “That mystery of mysteries…”. Darwin never actually tackled how new species arose…. So…what is a species?. Biological species concept. Populations must become isolated. Reproductive isolation is key!. Once isolated, populations will evolve independently (different factors affecting each). Two types of speciation. allopatric. geographic separation. Science. Lesson 8: challenge answer. Investigate and make note of other species that have evolved due to parapatric speciation. . Typically seen in species of fish.. Learning intention. To know what sympatric speciation is and how it occurs. . 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.
