What is a SPECIES?
6 2/19/2023 BIO2 Q3 (C)CEDAbler2023
What is a SPECIES?
According to the morphological
species concept, a species is
“all individuals of a species share
measurable traits that distinguish them
from individuals of other species”

What is a SPECIES?
According to the biological species
concept, a species (according to ERNST
MAYR) is
“groups of . . . interbreeding natural
populations that are reproductively
isolated from [do not produce fertile
offspring with] other such groups”

PROCESS WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED
1. Define what SPECIES means in
a biological concept.
2. What is the difference between
prezygotic and postzygotic
isolating mechanisms?

APPLY WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED
1. When a male duck of one species
performed a courtship display to a female
of another species, she interpreted his
behavior as aggressive rather than
amorous. What type of reproductive
isolating mechanism does this scenario
illustrate? Justify your answer.

REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION
MECHANISMS FOR SPECIATION
37 2/19/2023 BIO2 Q3 (C)CEDAbler2023
Reproductive isolation reduces GENE FLOW (movement/exchange of
gene/s) between populations. This means that each subpopulation
evolves separately and can result in a new species.
38 2/19/2023 BIO2 Q3 (C)CEDAbler2023
Think on this.
Human populations
often differ
dramatically in
external
morphological
characteristics. On
what basis are all
human populations
classified as a single
species?

the speciation of these
Galapagos finches as
observed by Darwin.
43 2/19/2023 BIO2 Q3 (C)CEDAbler2023
Scientists think that geographic isolation is a common way for the process of
speciation to begin: rivers change course, mountains rise, continents drift,
organisms migrate, and what was once a continuous population is divided into two
or more smaller populations.

CASE ANALYSIS
1. Some 200 years ago, apple maggot
flies laid their eggs only on
hawthorns — but today, these flies
lay eggs on hawthorns and domestic
apples (which were introduced to
America). Females generally choose
to lay their eggs on the type of fruit
they grew up in, and males tend to
look for mates on the type of fruit
they grew up in. So, hawthorn flies
generally end up mating with other
hawthorn flies and apple flies
generally end up mating with other
apple flies. What was the main
reason for their speciation?

CASE 1. Some of these plants live near mines
where the soil has become
ANALYSIS contaminated with heavy metals.
The plants around the mines have
experienced natural selection for
genotypes that are tolerant of heavy
metals. Meanwhile, neighboring
plants that don’t live in polluted soil
have not undergone selection for
this trait. The two types of plants are
close enough that tolerant and non-
tolerant individuals could potentially
fertilize each other. However, the
grass species two types of plants have evolved
Anthoxanthum odoratum different flowering times. What was
the main reason these grasses do
not fertilize each other?

APPLY WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED
1. A population of rabbit lives in a forest in
the Southeastern United States. A large
group of rabbits is cut off from the
population when a six-lane highway is built
through the forest. Over many
generations, the large group of rabbits
begins to develop darker fur in response
to the dominant foliage on one side of the
highway. When rabbits from the two
populations are brought together, they no
longer reproduce with each other. What
kind of speciation does this represent?
