SPECIATION
Macroevolution
Review: Microevolution

Changes in allele freq. of a population over time.
Review: Microevolution
Macroevolution

Speciation:
 Formation
of a new species
Biological Species Concept
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 successfully interbreed
with members of other species
Definition of a Species

Population of interbreeding organisms
Speciation begins with isolation
ISOLATION MECHANISMS
AP Biology
Ch. 24
Pre-zygotic Isolation Mechanisms
Habitat Isolation

Populations are geographically separated.
Behavioral Isolation

Populations respond to different mating cues
Hyla chrysoscelis
Hyla versicolor
Temporal Isolation

Populations breed during different times
Mechanical Isolation

Populations anatomically prevent reproduction
Gamete Isolation

Populations sperm are unable to fertilize different
eggs
Post-zygotic Isolation Mechanisms
Hybrid Sterility

Hybrid offspring is not fertile
Hybrid Breakdown

Hybrid may be fertile but subsequent generations
are not
Limitations to BSC

Does not account for
 Asexually
reproducing species: bacteria
 Hybrid species: Mule
 Fossil species: Trilobite

Microevolution & Macroevolution
 genetic
changes within a population
 natural selection acts upon phenotypes

Modes of Speciation (Where)

Allopatric Speciation:
 Speciation

Peripatric Speciation
 Speciation

occurs with small population isolation
Parapatric Speciation
 Speciation

occurs with geographic isolation
occurs between adjacent populations
Sympatric speciation
 Speciation
occurs within a population
Allopatric Speciation

Ex: Biogeography
 Rhacophorinae
frogs (310 sp. in India)
 Mantellinae frogs (100 sp. in Madagascar)

Geology and DNA evidence suggest 88 mya
Peripatric Speciation

Ex: Founder Effect
 Ursus

maritimus & Ursus arctos
Geology and DNA suggest 150 tya
Parapatric Speciation
•
Ex: Ring Species
•
•
Ensatina Salamanders

Sympatric Speciation

Ex: Polyploidy in Plants
 1900,
Europeans brought Tragopogon sp.
 Tragopogon miscellus is now found!

DNA shows tetraploidy (4N)
Sympatric Speciation

Ex: Sympatry in animals
 Amphilophus

citrinellus & Amphilophus zaliosus
Nicaragua Crater Lake formed 10 tya

Review: Speciation


Process of making a species
Biological Species Concept:
 Populations
are no longer capable of interbreeding
Speciation & Time

Is speciation a slow process? Fast process? Both?
Speciation & Time

Charles Darwin
 Phyletic
Gradualism:
 Slower
process gradually developing species
 Support:
 Various
fossil lineages
 Variation in large populations
 Allopatric speciation
 Ex:
Homo sapiens
Speciation & Time

Stephen J. Gould
 Punctuated
 Rapid
Equilibrium:
process & is followed by long periods of stasis
 Support:
 Various
fossil lineages
 Parapatric speciation
 Sympatric speciation
 Adaptive Radiation
 Ex:
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Speciation & Time

Adaptive Radiation:
 Presence
of new ecological conditions leads to the
diversification of many species
Patterns in Speciation

Divergent Evolution:
 Anagenesis
 One
species evolves into another species
 Cladogenesis
 One
species evolves into separate species
Patterns in Speciation

Convergent Evolution:
 Distantly
 Bats,
related species converge on similar structures
Birds, Butterflies wings are analogous structures
Patterns in Speciation

Parallel Evolution:
 Similar
environments produce many similar species
Patterns in Speciation

Coevolution?
 Probably
incorrectly applied to interspecific
competition
Speciation Misconceptions

Evolution is not goal oriented!
 There
is no primary body plan for any species
 Natural
Selection must work with current body plan
 Ex: 6 wings on birds would be awesome
 Adaptations
 Ex:
are often compromises
Seal flippers instead of legs
