III. Species concepts A. Biological species C. Morphological species ‘Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations, which are reproductively isolated from each other.’ Mayr B. Ecological species niche Reproductive isolating mechanisms (RIMs)
5
D. Phylogenetic species Molecular clocks A species consists of a population or group of populations that share a common evolutionary fate through time. Fossil record
