1 Genetic Drift Random changes in allele frequencies that occur in a population. Occurs in small populations with more frequency than in large populations

2 Bottleneck Effect Founder Effect
Change in allele frequency due to a dramatic reduction in population size Founder Effect Allele frequencies change when a small group becomes isolated from the larger population.

3 Speciation - Formation of a new species
Reproductive isolation Population no longer shares genetic information and can eventually lead to speciation. Caused by, Behavioral Isolation Geographic Isolation Temporal Isolation
