The Origin of Species
![Page 2: Mom, Dad… There’s something you need to know… I’m a MAMMAL! The Origin of Species.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e745503460f94b7459f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
“That mystery of mysteries…”
• Darwin never actually tackled how new species arose…
• Darwin never actually tackled how new species arose…
Both in space and time, we seem to be brought
somewhat near to that great fact—that mystery of mysteries—
the first appearance of new beings on this Earth.

So…what is a species?• Biological species concept
– defined by Ernst Mayr– population whose members can
interbreed & produce viable, fertile offspring
Western MeadowlarkEastern Meadowlark
Distinct species:Distinct species:songs & behaviors are different songs & behaviors are different enough to prevent interbreedingenough to prevent interbreeding

Other “species” definitions
• Morphological
• Phylogentic
Why are these needed?
![Page 5: Mom, Dad… There’s something you need to know… I’m a MAMMAL! The Origin of Species.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e745503460f94b7459f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How and why do new species originate?
• Species are created by a series of evolutionary processes– populations become isolated
• geographically isolated • reproductively isolated
– isolated populations evolve independently
• Isolation– allopatric
• geographic separation
– sympatric• still live in same area

Geographic isolation• Species occur in different areas
– physical barrier– allopatric speciation
• “other country”

Habitat (ecological) isolation• Species occur in same region, but occupy different
habitats so rarely encounter each other– reproductively isolated

Temporal isolation• Species that breed during different times of
day, different seasons, or different years cannot mix gametes– reproductive isolation– sympatric speciation
• “same country”

Behavioral isolation• Unique behavioral patterns & rituals isolate
species– identifies members of species – attract mates of same species
• courtship rituals, mating calls

Mechanical isolation
• For many insects, male & female sex organs of closely related species do not fit together, preventing sperm transfer– lack of “fit” between sexual organs:

Gametic isolation• Sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize
eggs of another species– mechanisms
• biochemical barrier so sperm cannot penetrate egg– receptor recognition between egg & sperm
• chemical incompatibility – sperm cannot survive in female reproductive tract

POST-reproduction barriers• Prevent hybrid offspring from
developing into a viable, fertile adult– reduced hybrid viability– reduced hybrid fertility– hybrid breakdown

Reduced hybrid viability• Genes of different parent species may
interact & impair the hybrid’s development

Reduced hybrid fertility
• Even if hybrids are vigorous they may be sterile– chromosomes of parents may differ in
number or structure & meiosis in hybrids may fail to produce normal gametes

generation, but when they mate offspring are feeble or sterile

Adaptive Radiation
• Islands are laboratories of speciation
• Adaptive radiation is the evolution a number of different new species from a common ancestor
• Archipelago's are the home of adaptive radiations

Rate of Speciation• Current debate:• Does speciation happen gradually
or rapidly? – Gradualism
• Charles Darwin• Charles Lyell
– Punctuated equilibrium• Stephen Jay Gould• Niles Eldredge
![Page 31: Mom, Dad… There’s something you need to know… I’m a MAMMAL! The Origin of Species.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e745503460f94b7459f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gradualism
• Gradual divergence over long spans of time– assume that big
changes occur as the accumulation of many small ones
![Page 32: Mom, Dad… There’s something you need to know… I’m a MAMMAL! The Origin of Species.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e745503460f94b7459f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Punctuated Equilibrium• Rate of speciation is
not constant– rapid bursts of
change – long periods of little
or no change– species undergo
rapid change when they 1st bud from parent population
![Page 33: Mom, Dad… There’s something you need to know… I’m a MAMMAL! The Origin of Species.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e745503460f94b7459f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
