Species Geographical Model of speciation evo Flashcards
(13 cards)
Intdogression
Steps of a speciation event
1-gene flow between populations is interrupted
2- genetic differences gradually accumulate; populations diverge genetically
3- reproductive isolation evolves
Name two types of isolation
geographical and reproductive
Name the two types of reproductive isolation
prezygotic and postzygotic
prezygotic isolation
speciation before fertilization
postzygotic isolation
speciation after fertilization
Name types of prezygotic isolation
ecological
seasonal
ethlogical
physiological
mechanical
gametic mortality
Name types of postzygotic isolation
cytological
zygotic mortality
hybrid inviability
hybrid sterility
hybrid breakdown
Name the four speciation models
allopatry
peripatry
parapatry
sympatry
allopatric speciation (by vicariance)
physical barrier blocks gene flow
even if barrier “disapears,” reproductive isolation has occurred and separated groups cannot become one again
peripatry
Peripatric speciation is a mode of speciation where a new species evolves from a small, isolated peripheral population that has broken off from a larger population.
parapatry
Parapatric speciation is a mode of speciation that occurs when populations are geographically continuous but do not mate randomly. Instead, individuals are more likely to mate with their geographic neighbors, leading to reproductive isolation despite the lack of a specific barrier to gene flow.
sympatry
Closely related species that occupy the same geographic area and encounter one another, yet do not interbreed.
A type of speciation that can occur from a single species without geographical isolation as a requirement.
