Chapter 18 Mom, Dad… There’s something you need to know… I’m a MAMMAL! WHAT IS SPECIATION? AP Biology
So…what is a species? u u A population whose members can interbreed & produce viable, fertile offspring Being reproductively compatible is a key component Distinct species: songs & behaviors are different enough to prevent interbreeding AP Biology Eastern Meadowlark Western Meadowlark Sturnella neglecta Sturnella magna
How and why do new species originate? New species are formed by a series of evolutionary processes which cause reproductive isolation. § Reproductive Isolating Mechanisms Pre-zygotic barriers are various forms of isolation u Post-zygotic barriers are generally related to fertility & viability of offspring u AP Biology
PRE-Reproduction (pre-zygotic) Barriers § This means there is an obstacle to mating or to fertilization if mating occurs geographic isolation AP Biology behavioral isolation ecological isolation temporal isolation mechanical isolation gametic isolation
Ammospermophilus spp 1. Geographic isolation § New species occur in different areas u physical barrier separated ancestor species AP Biology Harris’s antelope squirrel inhabits the canyon’s south rim (L). Just a few miles away on the north rim (R) lives the closely related whitetailed antelope squirrel
2. Ecological isolation § Species occur in same region, but occupy different habitats so they rarely encounter each other 2 species of garter snake, Thamnophis, occur in same area, but one lives in water & other is terrestrial AP Biology lions & tigers could hybridize, but they live in different habitats: § lions in grasslands § tigers in rainforest
3. Temporal “time” isolation § Species that breed during different times of day, different seasons, or different years cannot mix gametes. AP Biology Eastern spotted skunk (L) & Western spotted skunk (R) overlap in range but eastern mates in late winter & western mates in late summer
4. Behavioral isolation § Unique behavioral patterns & rituals isolate species u u identifies members of species attract mates of same species That’s hot… § courtship rituals, mating calls AP Biology Blue footed boobies mate only after a courtship display unique to their species

5. Mechanical isolation § Morphological differences can prevent successful mating Plants Even in closely related species of plants, the flowers often have distinct appearances that attract different pollinators. These 2 species of monkey flower differ greatly in shape & color, therefore crosspollination does not happen. AP Biology
Mechanical isolation Animals § For many insects, male & female sex organs of closely related species do not fit together, preventing sperm transfer u lack of “fit” between sexual organs: hard to imagine for us… but a big issue for insects with different shaped genitals! Get that thing away from me! Damsel fly penises AP Biology
6. Gametic isolation § Sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize eggs of another species § biochemical barrier: sperm cannot penetrate egg w receptor recognition: lock & key between egg & sperm § chemical incompatibility w sperm cannot survive in female reproductive tract Sea urchins release sperm & eggs into surrounding waters where they fuse & form zygotes. Gametes of different species are unable to fuse. AP Biology
POST-Reproduction (Post-Zygotic) Barriers § Prevent hybrid offspring from developing into a viable, fertile adult AP Biology
Post Zygotic: Reduced hybrid viability § Genes of different parent species may interact & impair the hybrid’s development Species of salamander genus, Ensatina, may interbreed, but most hybrids do not complete development & those that do are frail. AP Biology
Post Zygotic: Reduced hybrid fertility § Even if hybrids are vigorous they may be sterile u chromosomes of parents may differ in number or structure & meiosis in hybrids may fail to produce normal gametes Mules are vigorous, but sterile Horses have 64 chromosomes (32 pairs) AP Biology Mules have 63 chromosomes! Donkeys have 62 chromosomes (31 pairs)
Post Zygotic: Hybrid breakdown § Hybrids may be fertile & viable in first generation, but when they mate offspring are feeble or sterile In strains of cultivated rice, hybrids are vigorous but plants in next generation are small & sterile. AP Biology
Rate of Speciation § Current debate: Does speciation happen gradually or rapidly? Or both? u Gradualism u Punctuated equilibrium AP Biology
Gradualism § Gradual divergence over long spans of time u AP Biology assume that big changes occur as the accumulation of many small ones
Punctuated Equilibrium § Rate of speciation is not constant rapid bursts of change u long periods of little or no change u species undergo rapid change when they 1 st bud from parent population u AP Biology Time
Modes of Speciation: Allopatric Speciation § A physical barrier arises and prevents gene § flow between populations Speciation occurs when the members of the divergent populations no longer interbreed AP Biology
Modes of Speciation: Sympatric Speciation § A new species may form within the home § range of an existing species (there is no physical barrier) May be: u Temporal Mechanical u Behavioral u AP Biology
Modes of Speciation: Parapatric Speciation Daughter species form a small proportion of individuals along a common border between 2 populations. HYBRID ZONE BULLOCK’S ORIOLE BALTIMORE ORIOLE Hybrid Zone is formed AP Biology Figure 18. 10
The two types of plants are close enough that tolerant and non-tolerant individuals could potentially fertilize each other—so they seem to meet the first requirement of parapatric speciation, that of a continuous population. However, the two types of plants have evolved different flowering times. This change could be the first step in cutting off gene flow entirely between the two groups AP Biology
