SPECIATION  Provides the link between evolutionary change within lineages (anagenesis/microevolution) and the macroevolutionary patterns that result from cladogenesis.  Is a process (degree of reproductive isolation varies along a continuum).  Requires the disruption of gene flow and the evolution of reproductive isolating mechanisms (RIMs).

THE CLASSIC VIEW OF SPECIATION  Barrier to gene flow develops  Slow accumulation of genetic differences through mutation, drift, and natural selection  Genetic divergence leads to reproductive isolating mechanisms (RIMs) as a byproduct  Perhaps secondary contact, with some level of hybridization possible

ANCESTRAL POPULATION BARRIER TO GENE FLOW SECONDARY CONTACT AFTER EVOLUTION OF RIMs SLOW ACCUMULATION OF GENETIC DIFFERENCES at MULTIPLE LOCI (Mutation, Drift, Natural Selection) THE CLASSIC VIEW OF SPECIATION

CONSEQUENCE OF SECONDARY CONTACT The strength of RIMs that have developed in allopatry determines the shape of the hybrid zone; possibilities include:  No hybridization (no hybrid zone)  Hybridization but no introgression (narrow hybrid zone)  Limited introgression (wider hybrid zone)  Reunification of the gene pool

Figure 1 Geographic range of the greenish warbler species complex, along with research sites and representative song spectrograms. Different colours illustrate the ranges of six taxa commonly considered to be subspecies of Phylloscopus trochiloides 4 : purple, nitidus; blue, viridanus; green, ludlowi; yellow, trochiloides; orange, obscuratus; red, plumbeitarsus. Colours grade together in regions where Ticehurst 4 described gradual change between subspecies. Research sites are indicated by their two-letter designation. Also shown are representative song spectrograms (horizontal axis is time, vertical is frequency, darkness is amplitude) from eight locations 7. Letters and brackets below the spectrograms indicate distinct song units. Song structure (for example, length of each unit, repetition of units, frequency range) differs between viridanus and plumbeitarsus, but there is a gradient in song around the southern side of the ring 7. FROM: Irwin et al Nature 409: RING SPECIES II: THE GREENISH WARBLER COMPLEX

Figure 2 Geographic variation in the song of the greenish warbler as quantified by principal components analysis. Shown are population means and standard deviations, modified from ref. 7 with additional data. Songs distinctly differ between viridanus (blue) and plumbeitarsus (red), but change gradually through populations to the south (in order around the ring: YK-TL-AA-PK-KS-MN-LN-EM- XN-BK-ST ). Both PC1 and PC2 are axes of complexity, and Himalayan populations (yellow and green) have the simplest songs (low PC1 and PC2).

BARRIERS TO GENE FLOW  Prezygotic Barriers.  Potential mates (although sympatric) do not meet.  Temporal isolation.  Habitat isolation.  Potential mates meet but do not mate.  Copulation occurs, but gametes are not transferred.  Gametes are transferred, but eggs are not fertilized.

Many species have specific mate-location and -recognition systems, Chemical: Behavioral: PREZYGOTIC ISOLATING MECHANISMS

I think it will be admitted by naturalists… that secondary sexual characters are highly variable. It will also be admitted that species of the same group differ from each other more widely in their secondary sexual characters than in other parts of their organization… Darwin, The Origin of Species

PREZYGOTIC ISOLATING MECHANISMS OFTEN INVOLVE CHARACTERS UNDER SEXUAL SELECTION

FROM: Podos, J Nature 409: ORIGIN OF PREMATING ISOLATION AS A PASSIVE RESPONSE TO ECOLOGICAL DIVERGENCE TWO SPECIES OF DARWIN’S FINCHES

BARRIERS TO GENE FLOW  Postzygotic Barriers.  Zygote dies.  F 1 hybrid has reduced viability.  F 1 hybrid viable, but has reduced fertility.  Reduced viability or fertility in F 2 or backcross.

POST-ZYGOTIC REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION  Post-zygotic reproductive barriers are due to developmental incompatibility, or reduced hybrid fitness.  These incompatibilities are often the result of chromosomal differences, or epistatic interactions among genes.  Post-zygotic isolation is often partial with one reciprocal cross producing viable offspring and the other producing sterile offspring.

HALDANE’S RULE FOR PARTIAL POST-ZYGOTIC STERILITY  If hybrid sterility or inviability is found in only one sex, it is almost always the heterogametic sex J. B. S. Haldane Examples: Hybrid Hybrid Females Males DrosophilaXXXY, sterile Aedes mosquitoX F X F X F X M, sterile MammalsXXXY, sterile BirdsZW, sterileZZ ButterfliesZW, sterileZZ

FITNESS LOSS IN THE HETEROGAMETIC SEX

GENETICS BASIS OF POSTZYGOTIC ISOLATION  Bateson-Dobzhansky- Muller incompatibilties (B-D-M): arise from epistatic interactions at two or more loci

MODELS OF SPECIATION Allopatric Speciation:  Speciation with geographic isolation.  Evolution of reproductive isolating mechanisms between populations that are geographically separated.  Geographic separation is defined by spatial restriction of gene flow, not just physical distance.

ALLOPATRIC DISTRIBUTIONS  Species do not start with allopatric distributions.  Vicariance: Formerly widespread population becomes fragmented.  New geographic feature form barriers to gene flow, e.g., mountains, rivers, emergence of the Isthmus of Panama  Extinction of intermediate populations due to habitat fragmentation.

MODEL OF ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION ANCESTRAL POPULATION GEOGRAPHIC BARRIER

The marine inhabitants of the eastern and western shores of South America are very distinct, with extremely few shells, crustacea, or echinodermata in common; but Dr. Gunther has recently shown that about thirty per cent of the fishes are the same on the opposite sides of the isthmus of Panama; and this fact has led naturalists to believe that the isthmus was formerly open. Darwin, The Origin of Species

ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION IN SNAPPING SHRIMP

 Vicariant isolation between Pacific and Caribbean populations after the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama.

Islands provide opportunity for allopatric speciation

 Sequential colonization leads to speciation Hawaiian Crickets Mendelson & Shaw (2005) Nature 433:

MODELS OF SPECIATION Peripatric Speciation:  Speciation in a peripheral isolate.  Due to rare dispersal or colonization events.  Also referred to as Founder Effect speciation.

MODEL OF PERIPATRIC SPECIATION ANCESTRAL POPULATION PERIPHERAL ISOLATE  In small populations DRIFT and NATURAL SELECTION may cause rapid divergence from the parental population

EVIDENCE FOR SPECIATION BY DISPERSAL AND COLONIZATION

GENETIC REVOLUTION GENETIC DIVERSITY TIME  Mayr (1942) proposed that small populations in novel habitats would undergo a loss of genetic diversity (Founder Effects) due to DRIFT and then subsequently would gain novel alleles and allelic combinations by MUTATION.
