1 Selection and Isolation
Pg 17L

2 Species over time Animals evolve and can change
Sometimes the change is so great, they no longer can reproduce with each other

3 Why it happens If we are successful at something, we keep doing it.
Animals see this as a survival trait and want it to pass to their offspring Think about battle of the beaks, who was more successful? Did you want to be using the tool?

4 Things happen As populations evolve and begin to become a new species they slowly grow apart from original one Eventually they become isolated

5 Behavioral isolation Two species are compatible for mating but have different courtship rituals or behaviors

6

7 Geographical isolation
A population becomes separated by the geography Over time they adapt to that habitat and can only mate with those of a similar habitat

8 Temporal Isolation Species can only mate during a given time of the season. T for time, two similar species mate at different times therefore they can mate only with own species

10 Traits for fitness Sometimes the environment can change and select a more fit trait Ex. Climate change, new species, extinction of another species

11 Directional Selection
When individuals with one of the traits has higher fitness One of the traits = Good

12 Stabilizing Selection
When individuals with a blended trait (center of the curve) have a higher fitness Center of curve Blended trait = Good

13 Disruptive Selection When individuals at both ends have higher fitness
you need one trait or the other to be successful
