Allopatric Speciation—Drift • Drift is important in evolution • Just because an allele is common doesn’t mean selection favored it Speciation via drift? Probably not. • Flies in allopatry, same environment never RIM • Drift may facilitate speciation, but probably cannot often cause speciation on its own Ecological Speciation • Sister species in the same lake • Big is benthic, small is limnetic • No interbreeding in nature– habitat isolation or premating RIM? No-choice mating trials in the lab Low probability of spawning between different ecomorphs, even when closely related (A). Ecology is important in RIM. C = control (same species, same population, high probability of spawning) D = same ecotype, distantly related (act like same species) A = sympatric, closely related, different ecotype (act like different Biological species) B = allopatric, distantly related, different ecotype Reproductive compatibility determined more by ecotype than by genetic relatedness • RIM appears to be body size—did divergent natural selection on body size speciation? Speciation via Sexual Selection • Many sister lineages with same ecological niche, but different secondary sexual characters Greater species diversity in lineages with greater promiscuity. Due to stronger sexual selection?

Grant and Grant, PNAS, doi/10.1073/pnas.0911761106 F6 • The Grants followed the fate of the immigrant over 7 generations (28 years) • The immigrant imitated (imperfectly) the local song and mated with a large female • In generation 4, severe drought, lineage reduced to a single brother and sister, which mated • From then on, this lineage was reproductively isolated—premating RIM • RIM due to song – culturally transmitted to sons (learned)? – sound may also be a consequence of bill shape
