Study Notes
Allopatric and Sympatric Speciation
- Allopatric speciation occurs when a physical barrier, such as a flooded valley or a canyon, leads to the isolation of subpopulations, resulting in genetic differentiation and reproductive incompatibility.
- Hawaiian Islands provide examples of allopatric speciation with Drosophila populations on different islands, where gene flow is cut off, leading to the emergence of new species.
- Reproductive isolation in allopatric speciation can result from various genetic processes, such as the Dobzhansky-Muller model, where new alleles in subpopulations become incompatible.
- Centric fusion, observed in bats, is another example of genotypic change leading to reproductive incompatibility in allopatric speciation.
- The graph illustrates how increasing reproductive isolation leads to more genetic divergence between species pairs in allopatric speciation.
- Sympatric speciation, which is rare in animals, occurs when species arise from subpopulations that overlap in space and time, without a geographic barrier.
- In plants, sympatric speciation can occur through polyploidy, resulting from mistakes in cell division, leading to multiple copies of chromosomes or genomes.
- In animals, sympatric speciation can occur through behavioral changes, such as the case of sacred fishes in African lakes, where subpopulations exploit different food resources, leading to reproductive isolation and the emergence of new species.
- Polyploidy is a result of a mistake during cell division, leading to multiple copies of chromosomes or genomes.
- Behavioral changes in animals can lead to sympatric speciation, where subpopulations exploit different resources, leading to reproductive isolation and the emergence of new species.
- Sympatric speciation occurs when species overlap in space and time, and gene flow is cut off, despite the potential for interbreeding.
- Sympatric speciation is distinct from allopatric speciation in that it occurs without a physical barrier, and can be driven by polyploidy in plants or behavioral changes in animals.
