5 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Cichlids Lake Victoria s cichlids diversified 100,000 years ago Different species of cichlid have specialized mouthparts that allow them to specialize on different food sources The bright colors of the males vary with species, as females chose males with specific colors Groups isolated by diet or female mate choice may have lost the ability to interbreed Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

6 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Cichlids A species can be defined as a group of organisms whose members can breed and produce fertile offspring, but who do not produce fertile offspring with members of other groups Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

7 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Cichlids Two closely related species of cichlid, Pundamilia nyererei and Pundamilia pundamilia, feed at different depths The males of the two species differ in color Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

9 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Cichlids Females of each species prefer brightly colored males with the right color How do females benefit from this choice? Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

10 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Cichlids Over the last 30 years, 200 species of cichlids have disappeared from Lake Victoria Some were eaten by the Nile perch, an introduced predator In the polluted waters of Lake Victoria, it is more difficult for females to choose brightly colored males of the right species As a result, the gene pools of separate species are mixing, as two species fuse back into one Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

11 14.1 The origin of species is the source of biological diversity Speciation is the emergence of new species Every time speciation occurs, the diversity of life increases The many millions of species on Earth have all arisen from an ancestral life form that lived around 3.6 billion years ago Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

12 Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. CONCEPTS OF SPECIES

13 14.2 There are several ways to define a species Taxonomy is the branch of biology that names and classifies species and groups them into broader categories Carolus Linnaeus developed the binomial system of naming organisms using physical characteristics to distinguish over 11,000 species Similarities between some species and variation within species can make defining species difficult Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

14 14.2 There are several ways to define a species The biological species concept defines a species as a population or group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce fertile offspring Reproductive isolation prevents gene flow and maintains separate species Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

15 14.2 There are several ways to define a species Can the biological species concept always distinguish species from each other? Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

20 14.2 There are several ways to define a species The morphological species concept classifies organisms based on observable phenotypic traits It can be applied to asexual organisms, fossils, and in cases when we donít know about possible interbreeding There is some subjectivity in deciding which traits to use Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

21 14.2 There are several ways to define a species The ecological species concept defines a species by its ecological role or niche Consider the cichlids, which are similar in appearance but feed at different depths in the lake Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

22 14.2 There are several ways to define a species The phylogenetic species concept defines a species as a set of organisms representing a specific evolutionary lineage Morphological or DNA similarities or differences can be used to define a species Defining the amount of difference required to distinguish separate species is a problem Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

25 14.3 Reproductive barriers keep species separate Reproductive barriers serve to isolate a species gene pool and prevent interbreeding Reproductive barriers are categorized as prezygotic or postzygotic, depending on whether they function before or after zygotes form Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

26

27 14.3 Reproductive barriers keep species separate Prezygotic Barriers Prezygotic barriers prevent mating or fertilization between species In temporal isolation, two species breed at different times (seasons, times of day, years) In habitat isolation, two species live in the same general area but not in the same kind of place Video: Blue-footed Boobies Courtship Ritual Video: Albatross Courtship Ritual Video: Giraffe Courtship Ritual Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

32 14.3 Reproductive barriers keep species separate Prezygotic Barriers In behavioral isolation, there is little or no sexual attraction between species, due to specific behaviors In mechanical isolation, female and male sex organs are not compatible In gametic isolation, female and male gametes are not compatible Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

33

34

35 14.3 Reproductive barriers keep species separate Postzygotic Barriers Postzygotic barriers operate after hybrid zygotes are formed Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. In reduced hybrid viability, most hybrid offspring do not survive In reduced hybrid fertility, hybrid offspring are vigorous but sterile In hybrid breakdown, the first-generation hybrids are viable and fertile, but the offspring of the hybrids are feeble or sterile The process of speciation depends on whether reproductive barriers prevent gene flow between populations

42 14.4 In allopatric speciation, geographic isolation leads to speciation In allopatric speciation, populations of the same species are geographically separated, separating their gene pools Changes in the allele frequencies of each population may be caused by natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation, unaffected by gene flow from other populations Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

43 14.4 In allopatric speciation, geographic isolation leads to speciation Gene flow between populations is initially prevented by a geographic barrier The Grand Canyon and Colorado River separate two species of antelope squirrels Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

45 14.4 In allopatric speciation, geographic isolation leads to speciation Likelihood of allopatric speciation increases when a population is small and isolated A small population may have a different gene pool due to the founder effect Genetic drift and natural selection may have a greater effect in a small population in a new habitat Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

46 14.5 In sympatric speciation, speciation takes place without geographic isolation In sympatric speciation, new species may arise within the same geographic area as a parent species Gene flow between populations may be reduced by factors such as polyploidy, habitat differentiation, or sexual selection Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

47 14.5 In sympatric speciation, speciation takes place without geographic isolation Many plant species have evolved by polyploidy, the multiplication of the chromosome number due to errors in cell division A tetraploid (4n) plant can arise from a diploid parent Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

48 1 Parent species 2n = 6 Tetraploid cells 4n = 12

49 2 1 Parent species 2n = 6 Tetraploid cells 4n = 12 Diploid gametes 2n = 6

50 2 3 1 Selffertilization Parent species 2n = 6 Tetraploid cells 4n = 12 Diploid gametes 2n = 6 Viable, fertile tetraploid species 4n = 12

51 14.5 In sympatric speciation, speciation takes place without geographic isolation Most polyploids arise from hybridization of two different species Haploid gametes from two different species combine to produce a sterile hybrid Why is the hybrid sterile? How can it reproduce? Chromosome duplications may produce a fertile polyploid species What is the chromosome number of the new species Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

52 Species A 2n = 4 Gamete n = 2 Species B 2n = 6 Gamete n = 3

53 Chromosomes not homologous (cannot pair) 1 2 Species A 2n = 4 Gamete n = 2 Species B 2n = 6 Gamete n = 3 Sterile hybrid n = 5

54 Chromosomes not homologous (cannot pair) 1 2 Species A 2n = 4 Gamete n = 2 3 Species B 2n = 6 Gamete n = 3 Sterile hybrid n = 5 Viable, fertile hybrid species 2n = 10

55 14.5 In sympatric speciation, speciation takes place without geographic isolation Sympatric speciation in animals more commonly occurs through habitat differentiation and sexual selection Remember the cichlids in Lake Victoria! Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

56 14.6 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: Most plant species trace their origin to polyploid speciation 80% of all living plant species are the descendants of ancestors that formed by polyploid speciation Hybridization between two species accounts for most of these species What advantage might there be to hybridization? Polyploid food plants include oats, potatoes, bananas, peanuts, barley, plums, apples, sugarcane, coffee, and bread wheat Cotton is also polyploid Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

57 14.6 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: Most plant species trace their origin to polyploid speciation Wheat has been domesticated for 11,000 years It is the most widely cultivated plant in the world Bread wheat, Triticum aestivum, is a polyploid with 42 chromosomes Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

71 Pied flycatcher from sympatric population

72 14.8 Hybrid zones provide opportunities to study reproductive isolation What may happen in a hybrid zone? Reinforcement: If hybrids are less fit than parent species, natural selection strengthens reproductive barriers Fusion: Weak reproductive barriers between the two species, with considerable gene flow, reverses speciation and two species become one again Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

73 14.8 Hybrid zones provide opportunities to study reproductive isolation Stability: Many hybrid zones are stable, continuing to produce hybrids; this allows some gene flow between populations, but each species maintains its own integrity Which of these three outcomes reinforcement, fusion, or stability is happening to the Pundamilia species of cichlids in Lake Victoria? Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

74 14.9 TALKING ABOUT SCIENCE: Peter and Rosemary Grant study the evolution of Darwin s finches Peter and Rosemary Grant have worked on medium ground finches on tiny, isolated, uninhabited Daphne Major in the Galapágos Islands for 35 years Medium ground finches and cactus finches occasionally interbreed Hybrid offspring have intermediate bill sizes and survive well during wet years, when there are plenty of soft, small seeds around During dry years, hybrids are outcompeted by both parental types Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

75

76

77 14.9 TALKING ABOUT SCIENCE: Peter and Rosemary Grant study the evolution of Darwin s finches The occasional hybridization between finch species introduces new genes into both populations During drought years, hybrids die out This keeps medium ground finches and cactus finches on separate evolutionary paths Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

82 14.10 Adaptive radiation may occur when new opportunities arise In adaptive radiation, many diverse species evolve from a common ancestor Adaptive radiations occur When a few organisms colonize new unexploited areas After a mass extinction Adaptive radiations are linked to new opportunities: lack of competitors, varying habitats and food sources, evolution of new structures Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

83

84 14.11 Speciation may occur rapidly or slowly What is the total length of time between speciation events (between formation of a species and subsequent divergence of that species)? In a survey of 84 groups of plants and animals, the time ranged from 4,000 to 40 million years Overall, the time between speciation events averaged 6.5 million years and rarely took less than 50,000 years Animation: Macroevolution Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
