Allopatric and Sympatric Speciation: A Review
• In allopatric speciation, geographic isolation restricts gene flow between populations
• Reproductive isolation may then arise by natural selection, genetic drift, or sexual selection in the isolated populations
• Even if contact is restored between populations, interbreeding is prevented
![Page 3: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Allopatric and Sympatric Speciation: A Review
• In sympatric speciation, a reproductive barrier isolates a subset of a population without geographic separation from the parent species• Sympatric speciation can result from
polyploidy, natural selection, or sexual selection
![Page 4: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Animals• Don't form polyploids and will
use other mechanisms.

Concept 24.3: Hybrid zones provide opportunities to study factors that cause reproductive isolation
• A hybrid zone is a region in which members of different species mate and produce hybrids
![Page 6: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Patterns Within Hybrid Zones
• A hybrid zone can occur in a single band where adjacent species meet• Hybrids often have reduced
fitness compared with parent species• The distribution of hybrid zones
can be more complex if parent species are found in multiple habitats within the same region
![Page 7: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Hybrid Zones over Time
• When closely related species meet in a hybrid zone, there are three possible outcomes:–Strengthening of reproductive barriers–Weakening of reproductive barriers–Continued formation of hybrid individuals
![Page 9: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Reinforcement: Strengthening Reproductive Barriers
• The reinforcement of barriers occurs when hybrids are less fit than the parent species
• Over time, the rate of hybridization decreases
• Where reinforcement occurs, reproductive barriers should be stronger for sympatric than allopatric species
![Page 14: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Fusion: Weakening Reproductive Barriers
• If hybrids are as fit as parents, there can be substantial gene flow between species• If gene flow is great enough,
the parent species can fuse into a single species
![Page 16: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Stability: Continued Formation of Hybrid Individuals
• Extensive gene flow from outside the hybrid zone can overwhelm selection for increased reproductive isolation inside the hybrid zone
• In cases where hybrids have increased fitness, local extinctions of parent species within the hybrid zone can prevent the breakdown of reproductive barriers
![Page 18: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concept 24.4: Speciation can occur rapidly or slowly and can result from changes in few or many genes
• Evolution has two speeds of change:–Gradualism or slow change–Rapid bursts of speciation
![Page 19: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Many questions remain concerning how long it takes for new species to form, or how many genes need to differ between species
![Page 20: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Time Course of Speciation
• Broad patterns in speciation can be studied using the fossil record, morphological data, or molecular data
![Page 21: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Patterns in the Fossil Record
• The fossil record includes examples of species that appear suddenly, persist essentially unchanged for some time, and then apparently disappear
![Page 22: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Patterns in the Fossil Record
• Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould coined the term punctuated equilibrium to describe periods of apparent stasis punctuated by sudden change• The punctuated equilibrium
model contrasts with a model of gradual change in a species’ existence
![Page 23: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Gradualism Evolution• Darwinian style evolution.• Small gradual changes over
long periods time.
![Page 25: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Gradualism Predicts:• Long periods of time are
needed for evolution.• Fossils should show
continuous links.
![Page 26: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Problem• Gradualism doesn’t fit the
fossil record very well. • (too many “gaps”).
![Page 27: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Punctuated Evolution• theory that deals with the
“pacing” of evolution.• Elridge and Gould – 1972.
![Page 28: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Predictions• Speciation can occur over a
very short period of time • (1 to 1000 generations).• Fossil record will have gaps or
missing links.
![Page 29: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Predictions• New species will appear in
the fossil record without connecting links or intermediate forms.• Established species will show
gradual changes over long periods of time.
![Page 31: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Speciation Rates
• The punctuated pattern in the fossil record and evidence from lab studies suggests that speciation can be rapid
• The interval between speciation events can range from 4,000 years (some cichlids) to 40,000,000 years (some beetles), with an average of 6,500,000 years
![Page 32: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Possible Mechanism• Adaptive Radiation, especially
after mass extinction events allow new species to originate.• Saturated environments favor
gradual changes in the current species.
![Page 33: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Comment• Punctuated Equilibrium is the
newest ”Evolution Theory”.• Best explanation of fossil
record evidence to date.

Studying the Genetics of Speciation
• The explosion of genomics is enabling researchers to identify specific genes involved in some cases of speciation
• Depending on the species in question, speciation might require the change of only a single allele or many alleles
![Page 36: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

From Speciation to Macroevolution
• Macroevolution is the cumulative effect of many speciation and extinction events
![Page 38: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Origin of Evolutionary Novelty
• How do macroevolution changes originate?• Several ideas discussed in
textbook (read them)–Exaptation–Heterochrony–Homeosis
![Page 39: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Another idea• Mutations in developmental
or control genes (Chapter 21)• Looking very promising as a
source of macroevolution
![Page 40: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Exaptation
• When a structure that was adapted for one context is co-opted for another function.• Ex. – feathers and flying
![Page 41: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Heterochrony• Changes in the timing or rate
of development.–Allometric Growth–Paedomorphsis
![Page 42: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
1. Allometric Growth – changes in the relative rates of growth of various parts of the body.• Ex. – skull growth in primates
![Page 43: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
2. Paedomorphosis – when an adult retains features that are present in the juvenile form.
Ex. – gills in adult salamanders
![Page 44: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Ex - HomeosisChanges in the basic body
design or arrangement of body parts.
Ex. – Hox gene clusters that gave rise to vertebrates from invertebrates.
![Page 46: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Gene Duplications• Allow genes to be used for
other functions such as in the previous slide.• Many other examples are
known.
![Page 48: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Future of Evolution ?• Look for new theories and
ideas to be developed, especially from new fossil finds and from molecular (DNA) evidence.
![Page 49: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Evolutionary Trends• Evolution is not goal oriented.
It does not produce “perfect” species.• Remember – species survive
because of their adaptations. They don’t adapt to survive.
![Page 50: Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Part C](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051317/5681671c550346895ddb9673/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Summary• Be able to discuss the main
theories of what is a “species”.• Know various reproductive
barriers and examples.
