The main mechanisms of speciation

1.

2. The main mechanisms of speciation

3. Learning objective

•classify the main mechanisms of
speciation

4. Success criteria

1. Apply previous knowledge about
main mechanisms of speciation.
2. Classify correctly at least four
examples out of five.

5. Terminology

• Speciation, allopatric, sympatric, isolation:
ecological and geographic, parapatric, peripatric,
variation within population, adaptation, new
species, mechanical isolation, behavioral
isolation, gene pool, genoms, allele frequency,
individuals, deme, anceryral species, barrier,
polyploidy,

Species B
Species C
Speciation

into a new species

Speciation
When a species evolves
(branches) into a
new species as a result of
natural selection; the new
species can no longer
interbreed producting
fertile offspring.
Examples
-geographical isolation
-mating behavior
-breeding habits
-changes in food sources
Common Ancestor
Maltose Food
Starch Food
Many generations pass

22. Geographic Isolation

Two populations are separated by geographical barriers such
as, Mountains, Lakes, Oceans, Rivers, Deserts…over time
speciation will occur.

light colored belly and
lives on the South Rim
