Species are easy to recognize but hard to define
Biological species concept • Fertile interbreeding (gene flow) (gets stopped by) Reproductive isolation
Ecological species concept • Exploit a single ecological niche • Natural selection keeps same

Biological Species Concept: Reproductive isolation prevents gene flow
• Isolated populations can’t exchange genes ▪ Geographical barriers (pre-mating)

Biological Species Concept: Reproductive isolation prevents gene flow
• Mechanical incompatibility (pre-mating)

Biological Species Concept: Reproductive isolation prevents gene flow
Reduced Fertility of accidental matings… (post-mating) • Sperm-egg incompatibility • Zygote failure • Embryonic failure • Offspring death • Offspring sterility

Problems: • Gene flow can occur
between “good” species
• Medium finches mate with large ground finches 10% of time
• Why aren’t they one species?

Ecological species concept is based on selection • Selection favors certain phenotypes in a particular niche • Hybrids do poorly (post-mating reproductive isolating mechanism!)

Ecological species concept is based on selection
• Selection maintains differences between species even if gene flow occurs ◆ Darwin’s finches
• Selection maintains similarity between species even if no gene flow occurs ◆ Checkerspot butterfly

How does a new species form?• Speciation - process by which a new species evolves from an
earlier species = macroevolution
• Adaptive Radiation ◆ Competition pushes some individuals to exploit new habitats ◆ Diversify and separate from original species
• Adaptive potential (species & traits) ◆ Generalized ◆ Specialized

Two kinds of speciation
• Allopatric speciation
• Sympatric speciation
![Page 17: Anthro 101: Human Biological Evolution Lecture 6 ...feldmekj.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/0/1/26010947/sp13_an101_lecture… · Human Biological Evolution Lecture 6: ...

Allopatric Speciation• Closely linked to
biological species concept
• Gene flow interrupted
• Isolated population adapts
• If the two populations reunited
• No longer able to interbreed

Sympatric species kept distinct via Reproductive Isolating Mechanisms
• Hybrids do poorly
• Selection for pre-mating barriers

The tempo of evolutionary change
• Gradualism - Microevolution leads to the accumulation of small changes over time
◆ Fossil record one long series of small changes from one generation to the next
◆ Small differences eventually add up to a new species
![Page 20: Anthro 101: Human Biological Evolution Lecture 6 ...feldmekj.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/0/1/26010947/sp13_an101_lecture… · Human Biological Evolution Lecture 6: ...

The tempo of evolutionary change• Punctuated Equilibrium -
evolutionary change proceeds through long periods of stasis punctuated by rapid periods of change
• Transition to new species is rapid
• Evolution leads to new species (rather than gradual changes in same species)

Example text questions
1. Why is geographic isolation important for the process of speciation? What is this process called and briefly explain what would happen following geographic isolation. What might happen if the two populations moved back into the same area again?
2. What are the sources of variation and the forces that can alter variation in a population? Tell a story about the evolution of a new squirrel species using the vocabulary of variation, species, and speciation.
