allopatric x sympatric speciation

Cards (18)

  • Occurence of Speciation
    • allopatric speciation
    • sympatric speciation
  • Allopatric speciation occurs in dispersal and vicariance
  • Dispersal
    • geographic isolation due to dispersal and colonization
    • divergence
    • moving from one place to another
  • Vicariance
    • geographic isolation by chance separation
    • environmental causes
    • separation by land
  • Sympatric speciation
    • genetic isolation
    • absence of geological barrier
    • less chance of occuring than allopatric
    • geographic isolation: coexist
    • divergence due to selection
    • genetic variation
  • ecological niche (sympatric)
    • behavioral difference
  • Internal sympatric variation
    • polyploidy
    • auto
    • allolo
  • auto is self; self reproduction
  • allolo means two species
  • Polyploidy
    • errors in meiosis
    • increases number of chromosomes
    • creates new species
  • autoploidy formation
    1. diploid 2n
    2. error in meiosis
    3. diploid gametes
    4. fertilization
    5. multiple chromosomes formed
  • Divergence selection
    • separate
    • behavioral differences
    • same geographic space
    • drawn by scent
  • Sympatric speciation (FERHFo)
    • fusion of the populations
    • extinction of one population
    • Reinforcement divergence
    • Hybrid zone formation
    • Formation of new species
  • Fusion of the populations
    • two populations freely interbreed
    • no hybrid offspring
  • extinction of one population
    • one population or species that is better competition for shared resources
    • poorer competitor may be driven to extinction
  • reinforcement divergence (competition)
    • hybrid offspring that have low fitness
    • natural selection favors the evolution of traits
    • prevents interbreeding between populations
  • Hybrid zone formation
    • hybridization occurs in a well-defined geographic area
    • may move over time or be stable
  • Formation of new species
    • combination of genes in hybrid offspring
    • allows them to occupy distinct habitats or use novel resources
    • may be a new species
