Resource summary
Speciation and Macroevolution
macroevolution
is
measured as change in allele frequencies in a population over generations, evolution on a large scale
another concept is the
biological species concept
relies primarily on reproductive isolation rather than trait differences or shared evolutionary history to define the species
reproductive isolation before fertilization
is called
prezygotic isolation
and after fertilization is
postzygotic isolation
a
zygote
is the
first cell that results when the egg is fertilized
but
reproductive isolation
is when
physiological, behavioral, and genetic processes that inhibit interbreeding
there are mechanisms such as
prezygotic isolating mechanisms
that
prevent reproductive attempts or make it unlikely that fertilization will be successful if mating is attempted
these isolating mechanisms make highly unlikely
hybridization
or the
mating between 2 species
postzygoitic isolating mechanisms
operate after formation of the zygote, prevents hybrid offspring from developing
reinforcement
is given
to the process of the natural selection that reinforces reproductive isolation
speciation
is
the splitting of one species into two or more species
scientists define species based on many types of evidence
a
taxonomist
a scientist that classifies organisms into groups, makes a working hypothesis about whether they are different species based on the evidence provided
we can study
species concepts
different ways in which a species is defined
Linnaeus
is the
father of taxonomy
identified new species by differences in their appearances
which is
morphology
in the
morphological species concept
each species is defined by one or more distinct physical characteristic
called
diagnostic traits
some organisms look so similar that they appear to ve the same species
these are
cryptic species
species that look almost identical but are very different in other traits
then there was
the evolutionary species concept
it was proposed to explain speciation in the fossil record
the there was the
phylogenetic species concept
an evolutionary "family tree" or phylogeny used to identify species based on a common ancestor
in a phylogeny there is
a monophyletic
a branch that contains all of the descendants of a common ancestor
