Refer to figure 22 6 In Texas. Drummond s phlox is a dark shade of red where it occurs with the pale blue pointed phlox. Elsewhere, where it occurs by itself, it is a pale pinkish-blue In this case, there is no competition for ecological resources as in other cases of character divergence discussed. Why has the color of Drummond s phlox evolved when it is sympatric with pointed phlox?

Use each of the following species concepts to write a claim about whether the dark and light fur mice are, in fact, different species. Your claim should demonstrate your understanding of that particular species concept. Mice with light coat colors are found in populations scattered across the southeastern US. Researchers believe the light coat color emerged in a single population.   How would a biologist explain the evolution of the light coat color in populations across the southeastern US? Briefly explain your reasoning.
In lizard species "A" the males approach the females directly, bobbing their whole body up and down and displaying their bright blue belly patches as they do so. In lizard species "B", the males slither around the female and bob only their heads. They have no belly patches at all. The females of each species will reject the males of the other species because of these differences. This is an example of isolation. habitat and post-zygotic habitat and pre-zygotic mechanical and post-zygotic behavioral and post-zygotic isolation behavioral and pre-zygotic mechanical and pre-zygotic
