Species concepts A. Biological species ‘Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations, which are reproductively isolated from each other.’ Mayr Reproductive isolating mechanisms (RIMs) B. Ecological species niche C. Morphological species D. Phylogenetic species • A species consists of a population or group of populations that share a common evolutionary fate through time. Fossil record • Molecular clocks DNA - DNA hybridization 98.7% 99.2% III. Species concepts Problems with definitions • convergent evolution • asexual species • promiscuous • ecotypes • fossil record Link IV. Barriers that lead to speciation A. Prezygotic barriers 1. Habitat isolation 2. Behavioral isolation • sexual selection Sage grouse Songbirds A. Prezygotic barriers 3. Temporal isolation 4. Anatomical isolation 5. Gametic isolation • diurnal, nocturnal, crepuscular B. Postzygotic barriers wheat rye Hybrid problems mules tritical V. Modes of speciation A. Allopatric speciation Bird species A.
