Macroevolution
Speciation
Species =Groups of actually (or potentially)
interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other
such groups.Ernst Mayer.
Population genetic translation:a single gene pool.

Allopatric speciation of pupfishes (Cyprinodon) in Nevada desert pools.
Desert Pupfish. These fish are about the size of guppies and live in various small pools in this part of Nevada and California. Each pool has its very own distinct species of Pup Fish and all are endangered.
Distribution of Pupfish
Allopatric speciation of Hawaiian goose (the Nene)
Pollinator switching in species with highly specialized pollination mechanism may also lead to sympatric speciation. The two orchids above are very similar and have completely overlapping ranges, yet are pollinated by different species of solitary bees. In this genus, pollinators are attracted by the flowers' species-specific chemical attractants that mimic the female pheromones of the targeted insects. Left, Yellow-bee Orchid (Oprys lutea), right, Ophrys sicula. The latter species was regarded as a variant of the former for long.

Sympatric speciation and allopolyploidy in wheat.
Sympatric speciation with alloploidy of Gilia species.A hybrid zygote Gilia major (n=18) resulted from a cross between G. aliquanta (n=9) and G. minor (n=9) followed by genome duplication.

Rapid speciation because of:
1.Adaptation to a new environment
2.Genetic drift
3.Character displacement:a) Resource partitioningb) Building pre-zygotic
isolation mechanisms.
