• Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory
• Evolutionary theory must explain how new species originate and how populations evolve
• Microevolution consists of adaptations that evolve within a population, confined to one gene pool
• Macroevolution refers to evolutionary change above the species level

Concept 24.1: The biological species concept emphasizes reproductive isolation
• Species is a Latin word meaning “kind” or
“appearance”
• Biologists compare morphology, physiology,
biochemistry, and DNA sequences when
grouping organisms

The Biological Species Concept
• The biological species concept states that a
species is a group of populations whose
members have the potential to interbreed in
nature and produce viable, fertile offspring;
they do not breed successfully with other
populations
• Gene flow between populations holds the
phenotype of a population together

Reproductive Isolation
• Reproductive isolation is the existence of
biological factors (barriers) that impede two
species from producing viable, fertile offspring
• Hybrids are the offspring of crosses between
different species
• Reproductive isolation can be classified by
whether factors act before or after fertilization
![Page 15: The Origin of Species - Los Angeles Mission College 24 - Lecture/24... · •Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory •Evolutionary theory](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042317/5f06d3d27e708231d419ef5f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Prezygotic barriers block fertilization from
occurring by:
– Impeding different species from attempting to
mate
– Preventing the successful completion of
mating
– Hindering fertilization if mating is successful
![Page 16: The Origin of Species - Los Angeles Mission College 24 - Lecture/24... · •Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory •Evolutionary theory](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042317/5f06d3d27e708231d419ef5f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• Habitat isolation: Two species encounter
each other rarely, or not at all, because they
occupy different habitats, even though not
isolated by physical barriers

Limitations of the Biological Species Concept
• The biological species concept cannot be
applied to fossils or asexual organisms
(including all prokaryotes)
![Page 43: The Origin of Species - Los Angeles Mission College 24 - Lecture/24... · •Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory •Evolutionary theory](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042317/5f06d3d27e708231d419ef5f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Other Definitions of Species
• Other species concepts emphasize the unity
within a species rather than the separateness
of different species
• The morphological species concept defines
a species by structural features
– It applies to sexual and asexual species but
relies on subjective criteria
![Page 44: The Origin of Species - Los Angeles Mission College 24 - Lecture/24... · •Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory •Evolutionary theory](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042317/5f06d3d27e708231d419ef5f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• The ecological species concept views a
species in terms of its ecological niche
– It applies to sexual and asexual species and
emphasizes the role of disruptive selection
• The phylogenetic species concept: defines a
species as the smallest group of individuals on
a phylogenetic tree
– It applies to sexual and asexual species, but it
can be difficult to determine the degree of
difference required for separate species

Concept 24.2: Speciation can take place with or without geographic separation
• Speciation can occur in two ways:
– Allopatric speciation
– Sympatric speciation

Allopatric (“Other Country”) Speciation
• In allopatric speciation, gene flow is
interrupted or reduced when a population is
divided into geographically isolated
subpopulations

The Process of Allopatric Speciation
• The definition of barrier depends on the ability
of a population to disperse
• Separate populations may evolve
independently through mutation, natural
selection, and genetic drift

• Regions with many geographic barriers
typically have more species than do regions
with fewer barriers

than in animals
• Many important crops (oats, cotton, potatoes,
tobacco, and wheat) are polyploids

Habitat Differentiation
• Sympatric speciation can also result from the
appearance of new ecological niches
• For example, the North American maggot fly
can live on native hawthorn trees as well as
more recently introduced apple trees

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 75: The Origin of Species - Los Angeles Mission College 24 - Lecture/24... · •Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory •Evolutionary theory](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042317/5f06d3d27e708231d419ef5f/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• 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

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 77: The Origin of Species - Los Angeles Mission College 24 - Lecture/24... · •Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory •Evolutionary theory](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042317/5f06d3d27e708231d419ef5f/html5/thumbnails/77.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

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

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

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

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

Concept 24.4: Speciation can occur rapidly or slowly and can result from changes in few or many genes
• Many questions remain concerning how long it
takes for new species to form, or how many
genes need to differ between species

The Time Course of Speciation
• Broad patterns in speciation can be studied
using the fossil record, morphological data, or
molecular data

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
• 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

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

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

From Speciation to Macroevolution
• Macroevolution is the cumulative effect of
many speciation and extinction events
