Biological Species Concept

Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Page 3: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Eastern Meadowlark Western Meadowlark

Biological Species Concept

Cannot breed, different songs, different behaviors

Page 4: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Speciation

Formation of a new species

Page 5: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

How does Speciation occur?

- Gene pools become separated- Populations become reproductively isolated

Reproductive Isolation

Biological barriers that prevent members from producing viable and fertile offspring

Page 6: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Reproductive Isolation Pre-zygotic (before the zygote)

Page 7: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Habitat Isolation

2 species, 2 different habitats within same area

Rarely cross paths

Temporal Isolation

Eastern Spotted Skunk

Western Spotted Skunk

Reproduce late winter

Reproduce late summer

Breed at different times(day/season/year)

Cannot mix gametes

Behavioral Isolation

Courtship rituals that are uniqueto breeding success

Mechanical IsolationMorphological

differences that prevent mating

Page 13: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Gametic Isolation

Purple Sea Urchin Red Sea Urchin

Sperm of #1 not able to fertilize egg of #2Sperm cannot survive, cannot penetrate egg

Page 14: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Reproductive Isolation Post-zygotic (after the zygote)

Hybrid Equine

Page 15: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Zebroid or Zorse - sterile

Viable (able to survive)Infertile (not able to reproduce)

Page 16: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Zedonk, Zebrass - sterile

Page 17: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Offspring = Mule = sterile

Horse

Donkey

Page 18: Speciation. Biological Species Concept Population that can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Offspring = Hinny = sterile

Horse
