Chap.24 Speciation Continued Flashcards
Biological species concept is based on
The ability to interbreed and reproduce viable offspring
Four consents of species
Biological
Morphological
Ecological
Phylogenetic
Morphological concept is
Based on body shape and other structural features
Ecological concept of species is
Based on members of a species interact with there environment and the specific niche
The phylogenetic concept of a species is defined as
Smallest group of individuals that share common ancestors on the tree.
Tow types of speciation barriers
Prezygotic
Postzygotic
Prezygotic
Before sperm fertilizes an egg
Postzygotic
After fertilization of the egg
5 types of Prezygotic barriers
Ecological (habitat) Temporal (timing ) Ethological (behavioral) Mechanical Gametic
3 post zygotes barriers
Reduced hybrid viability
Reduced hybrid fertility
Hybrid breakdown
Hybrid breakdown
Consequent generations of individuals are feeble or sterile
reduced hybrid viability
Hybrid development or serial is impaired
- Provides linkage between evolutionary change within individuals
- Is a process
- requires disruption of gene flow
Speciation
RIM’s
Reproductive Isolating Mechanisms
Barrier to gene flow
Accumulation of mutation, genetic drift, natural selection
Genetic divergence and reproductive barriers
Possible secondary contact and hybridization
Class view of speciation
Two types of speciation
Allopatric
Sympatric
Allopatric
( other country)
Divided by geographical barriers into subpopulations that undergo genetic change individually
Sympatric
(same country)
Live in same geographic location but occupy different habitats
Hybrid zones
Region in which members of different species mate and produce hybrids
Hybrids
Result of mating two different species
Primary hybrid zone
Bounds of two populations that interbreed
Secondary hybrid zone
Formed when allopatric populations become genetically different then meet again and interbreed ( second contact )
3 outcomes of hybrid zones
Reinforcement
Fusion
Stability
Reinforcement hybrid zones
Straighten reproductive barriers ( weak hybrids)
