Summary Introduction

To name: Two types of speciation represented in the diagram and also to describe for each type in what way the reproductive barriers might have developed between the new species.

Concept introduction:

The speciation is an evolutionary process by which new species are formed. It can occur due to geographic, behavioral, anatomical and physiological factors.

The new species formed differ from their ancestors and cannot interbreed with their ancestral species to produce viable offspring.

Explanation of Solution

The type of speciation represented in the diagram (a) is allopatric speciation and in (b) is sympatric speciation.

The allopatric speciation occurs when two populations of a species are separated by a physical barrier such as a mountain or a hill. The gene flow between the two populations is stopped and over the time they become reproductively isolated due to natural selection, mutation or genetic drift.

In sympatric speciation, a new species arise from an ancestral species, while occupying the same geographical region. The two populations become reproductively isolated due to polyploidy, habitat differentiation and sexual selection.

Pictorial representation: Fig. 1 shows two types of speciation: (a) Allopatric speciation (b) Sympatric speciation.

Over time, enough genetic variations can develop within a population to cause it to undergo speciation. Identify the various mechanisms that will prevent different species from being able to reproduce successfully. Which of these mechanisms is the most influential in keeping species sperate?
Describe the two kinds of reproductive isolating mechanisms and explain their role in speciation.
The biological species concept depends on the existence of barriers to reproduction. What are they? Does this species concept apply in all situations?  Think of an example from nature where the biological species concept would NOT be that applicable.  Which species concept would be better in this example?   How does speciation occur? What environmental factors might contribute to speciation? Can an individual speciate? Use terminology for the two kinds of speciation we have learned about. What is “gene flow”? What does it mean if there is NO gene flow? Two groups of individuals are separated by either side of a canyon. One researcher found that they do not cross the canyon at any point. The group on the north side have fluffy tails and thicker coats, and they do not eat moss. The south side individuals eat moss almost exclusively, have a thin coat and tail, but otherwise are generally identical. When in the lab they mated successfully, and the offspring of that mating also mated…
