Step 1 - Below is a basic phylogenetic tree for how canids evolved. For a group to divide into two species, the gene pool must somehow be divided so that some members of the species can no longer reproduce with some others. This is called reproductive isolation. There are many ways this can happen. Explain how each of the following could have led to what you see at the right. Behavioral Isolation: Geographic Isolation: Temporal Isolation: Phylogeny of interfertile Canis (wolf) species Based on Wilson et al. (2000) and Lindblad-Toh et al. (2005) 2-3 million years ago Canis latrans 150,000- 300,000 years ago Canis lycaon 1-2 million years ago Canis rufus Ancestral wolf 3-4 million years ago Canis simensis Canis aureus Canis lupus
