Since Western and Eastern meadowlarks are similar in appearance, one could assume that both are members of the same species.  However, the Western meadowlark sings a song that is distinct from the Eastern meadowlark, preventing the two from mating. Therefore, one could also assume that Western and Eastern meadowlarks each represent their own species.  Identify which concepts characterize both assumptions.
