Prezygotic Barriers What are prezygotic barriers? What are prezygotic barriers? Habitat isolation Habitat isolation Behavioral isolation Behavioral isolation
5
Habitat and Behavioral Isolation
6
Prezygotic Barriers Temporal isolation Temporal isolation Mechanical isolation Mechanical isolation Gametic isolation Gametic isolation
7
Temporal, Mechanical & Gametic Isolation
8
Postzygotic Barriers What are postzygotic barriers? What are postzygotic barriers? Reduced hybrid viability Reduced hybrid viability Hybrid breakdown Hybrid breakdown
9
Reduced Hybrid Viability & Hybrid Breakdwon
10
Postzygotic Barriers Reduced Hybrid Fertility Reduced Hybrid Fertility
11
Reproductive Barriers
12
Modes of Speciation Allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation Sympatric speciation Sympatric speciation
13
Conditions for Allopatric Speciation More likely if the population is both small and isolated More likely if the population is both small and isolated Barrier has to be significant enough to not be crossable Barrier has to be significant enough to not be crossable They must become different enough that they can no longer interbreed They must become different enough that they can no longer interbreed
14
Adaptive Radiation What is it? What is it? Especially common on island chains such as the Galapagos and the Hawaiian Islands Especially common on island chains such as the Galapagos and the Hawaiian Islands
15
Sympatric Speciation in Plants When meiosis goes wrong… When meiosis goes wrong…
16
Sympatric Speciation in Animals Polyploid speciation in animals? Polyploid speciation in animals? Dependent on different resources Dependent on different resources Nonrandom mating Nonrandom mating
