Speciation, the origin of new species
How do new species originate and how populations evolve?
Microevolution - changes in allele frequency in a population over time
Macroevolution - broad patterns of evolutionary change above the species level
![Page 3: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Biological Species ConceptA species is a group of populations whose
members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring; they do not breed successfully with other populations
Gene flow between populations holds the phenotype of a population together
![Page 4: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Reproductive IsolationReproductive isolation is the existence of
biological factors (barriers) that impede two species from producing viable, fertile offspring
Hybrids are the offspring of crosses between different species
Reproductive isolation can be classified by whether factors act before or after fertilization
![Page 5: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Prezygotic barriersPrezygotic barriers block fertilization
from occurring by:Impeding different species from
attempting to matePreventing the successful completion
of matingHindering fertilization if mating is
successful

Postzygotic barriersPostzygotic barriers prevent the
hybrid zygote from developing into a viable, fertile adult:
Reduced hybrid viabilityReduced hybrid fertilityHybrid breakdown

Limitations of the Biological Species ConceptThe biological species concept cannot be applied
to fossils or asexual organisms (including all prokaryotes)
The biological species concept emphasizes absence of gene flow
However, gene flow can occur between distinct species
For example, grizzly bears and polar bears can mate to produce “grolar bears”
Other species concepts: ecological, morphological
![Page 11: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Speciation can take place with or without geographic separationSpeciation can occur in two ways:
Allopatric speciationSympatric speciation
![Page 12: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
(a) (b)Allopatric speciation.A population forms anew species whilegeographically isolatedfrom its parent population.
Sympatric speciation.A subset of a populationforms a new specieswithout geographicseparation.
![Page 13: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Process of Allopatric SpeciationThe definition of barrier depends on the
ability of a population to disperseFor example, a canyon may create a
barrier for small rodents, but not birds, coyotes, or pollen
A. harrisii A. leucurus
Allopatric speciation of antelope squirrels on opposite rims of the Grand Canyon.
![Page 14: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Separate populations may evolve independently through mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift
Reproductive isolation may arise as a result of genetic divergence
For example, mosquitofish in the Bahamas comprise several isolated populations in different ponds
(a) Under high predation (b) Under low predation
![Page 15: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Evidence of Allopatric Speciation
15 pairs of sibling species of snapping shrimp (Alpheus) are separated by the Isthmus of Panama
These species originated 9 to 13 million years ago, when the Isthmus of Panama formed and separated the Atlantic and Pacific waters

TrendsMore geographic barriers tends to
lead to more species
Reproductive isolation between species increases as distance between them increases

Sympatric (“Same Country”)SpeciationIn sympatric speciation, speciation
takes place in geographically overlapping populations
![Page 24: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Polyploidy speciationPolyploidy is the presence of extra sets of
chromosomes due to accidents during cell division
Polyploidy is much more common in plants than in animals. Many important crops (oats, cotton, potatoes, tobacco, and wheat) are polyploids
An autopolyploid is an individual with more than two chromosome sets, derived from one species
An allopolyploid is a species with multiple sets of chromosomes derived from different species
![Page 25: Ch 24 – Origin of Species](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033108/5681644c550346895dd61617/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Habitat differentiationSympatric speciation can also result from
the appearance of new ecological niches
For example, the North American maggot fly can live on native hawthorn trees as well as more recently introduced apple trees

Sexual SelectionSexual selection can drive sympatric speciation
Sexual selection for mates of different colors has likely contributed to speciation in cichlid fish in Lake Victoria

Speciation over time
The fossil record includes examples of species that appear suddenly, persist essentially unchanged for some time, and then apparently disappear
Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould coined the term punctuated equilibria to describe periods of apparent stasis punctuated by sudden change
The punctuated equilibrium model contrasts with a model of gradual change in a species’ existence

Rate of speciationThe punctuated pattern in the fossil
record and evidence from lab studies suggest that speciation can be rapid
The interval between speciation events can range from 4,000 years (some cichlids) to 40 million years (some beetles), with an average of 6.5 million years
