The phenotype is the external, observable expression of an organisms genetic make up.
The phenotype, is the expression of an organisms genotype.
The genotype is the sum of heritable information (genes) carried by an organism
![Page 5: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Alternative forms of a gene are called alleles.
So…phenotypic variation within a population is related to allele frequency (the frequency of alternate forms of a gene).
![Page 6: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
-Natural Selection is the differential success of individuals within a population such that traits are eliminated or emphasized over (evolutionary) time. This is trait-based, acting on individuals…but the effects accumulate in populations over generations.(1) Heritable Variation(2) This Variation Results in Differences in (Evolutionary) Fitness
![Page 7: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
For any given trait, there is generally a “normal” distribution…natural selection sometimes applies pressure along this distrubution
![Page 8: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Fitness is not specifically related to competition and access to resources…
…it also is related to mate acquisition
Sexual Selection
Sometime this “sexual selection” drives morphological change
![Page 10: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sexual selection can cause the accumulation of apparently useless, and bizarre, traits.

What is a species
![Page 14: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Speciation is the process of one species diverging (evolving) into two (or more) species.
At the most basic level, the process is dictated by two processes:
Gene flow Selection
![Page 15: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1) Gene flow is the movement of genetic material within, and among, populations of a given species
• For (most) animals this involves the movement of individuals (offspring, mostly) over geographic distances. For gene flow to be accomplished that individual would then reproduce.
![Page 16: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

1) Gene flow is the movement of genetic material within, and among, populations of a given species
• For (most) animals this involves the movement of individuals (offspring, mostly) over geographic distances. For gene flow to be accomplished, then, that individual would then reproduce.
• In plants, gene flow is accomplished through pollen movement, and through seed (or clone) dispersal.

Gene flow binds together the populations that make up a species.
![Page 21: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Speciation is the process of one species diverging (evolving) into two (or more) species.
At the most basic level, the process is dictated by two processes:
1) Gene flow 2) Selection
![Page 22: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2) (Natural) Selection is the differential success of individuals within a population such that traits are eliminated or emphasized over (evolutionary) time.
- variation among individuals in a heritable trait.
- variation results in difference in reproductive success/survival (i.e., evolutionary fitness).

Role of Selection? (eg. habitats different)
![Page 25: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Selection is driving the populations apart.
Gene flow is holding the populations together.
![Page 26: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
what if gene flow is prevented?
![Page 27: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Differentiation, the development of ecotypes... maybe, later, speciation
![Page 28: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ok…so how do you get from here, to speciation??
![Page 29: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Modes of speciation:
(1) Allopatric speciation (classical model).- Founder effect speciation.- Peripheral isolates speciation.
(2) Sympatric speciation- Genetic hiccups.
![Page 30: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1) Allopatric speciation (classical model).
- A species range is divide geographically by some event, dividing the species into sub-groups and blocking gene flow.
- Selection pressures within the sub-groups drive them toward dissimilarity, differentiation occurs, then eventually the two become reproductively isolated.
![Page 31: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

- Gene flow is blocked
![Page 34: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
- Gene flow is blocked
Adaptation, differentiation, ecotypes, reproductive isolation…speciation
![Page 35: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A Special Case of Allopatric
- Founder effect model of speciation.
- Some event leads to a very small population- or with plants a single individual, arriving in some new location, beyond the range of gene flow.
- Usually intense selection pressure (and inbreeding) commence- the founder population diverges quickly and becomes a new species.
![Page 36: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Populus nigra.
![Page 38: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
- Gene flow is blocked (& inbreeding & intense selection pressure)
Adaptation, differentiation, ecotypes, reproductive isolation…speciation
![Page 40: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
- Founder effects can lead to adaptive radition
![Page 41: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Another Special Case of Allopatric Speciation
- Peripheral isolates speciation.
- Perhaps most common (or constant)
- Individuals at the edge of a species range are isolated from the main body of the range.
- Gene flow is restricted- Selection intense.
- Ecotypes (varieties) develop, then reproductive isolation, then speciation.

Puma concolor
Populations on the periphery of this very large range are differentiating into varieties, moving (perhaps) toward speciation

Some populations are already completely isolated (e.g., Florida)
![Page 49: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Sympatric Speciation• Sympatric speciation occurs when new species
evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region – there is no geographic constraint to interbreeding
• Driven by multiple mechanisms:– Genetic Hiccup: occurs when organism carries one or
more extra sets of chromosomes than parents; common in plants, usually causes death in animals
– Differing habitats: hunt different prey or utilize different resources
– Sexual selection: different mating calls or behavior
![Page 50: Natural Selection & Speciation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167b5550346895ddd03e2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Genetic hiccup.
- Something goes wrong during the reproductive process.
- Some mutation occurs, or new portion of the genome is turned on, that cause a wildly different morphology, or other reproductive isolating mechanism. Generally does not work with animals!
- In plants, “hiccup” involves a change in the number of chromosomes. E.g., reproduction involving two diploid organisms produces a triploid offspring, which then cannot interbreed with the parent population, but being self-fertile can produce offspring by itself.
