• Speciation, the origin of new species, is at the focal point of evolutionary theory
• Evolutionary theory must explain how new species originate and how populations evolve
• Microevolution consists of adaptations that evolve within a population, confined to one gene pool
• Macroevolution refers to evolutionary change above the species level
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Two basic patterns of evolutionary change:
– Anagenesis (phyletic evolution) transforms one species into another
– Cladogenesis (branching evolution) is the splitting of a gene pool, giving rise to one or more new species

Concept 24.1: The biological species concept emphasizes reproductive isolation
• Species is a Latin word meaning “kind” or “appearance”
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Biological Species Concept
• Members of a biological species are reproductively compatible, at least potentially; they cannot interbreed with other populations.
LE 24-3LE 24-3
Similarity between different species.
Diversity within a species.

Reproductive Isolation
• Reproductive isolation is the existence of biological factors (barriers) that impede two species from producing viable, fertile hybrids
• Two types of barriers: prezygotic and postzygotic
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Prezygotic barriers impede mating or hinder fertilization if mating does occur:
– Habitat isolation
– Temporal isolation
– Behavioral isolation
– Mechanical isolation
– Gametic isolation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Habitat isolation: Two species encounter each other rarely, or not at all, because they occupy different habitats, even though not isolated by physical barriers
LE 24-4aLE 24-4a
Prezygotic barriers impede mating or hinder fertilization if mating does occur
Postzygotic barriers prevent a hybrid zygote fromdeveloping into a viable, fertile adult

• Mechanical isolation: Morphological differences can prevent successful mating
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

• Postzygotic barriers prevent the hybrid zygote from developing into a viable, fertile adult:
– Reduced hybrid viability
– Reduced hybrid fertility
– Hybrid breakdown
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Reduced hybrid viability: Genes of the different parent species may interact and impair the hybrid’s development
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Reduced hybrid fertility: Even if hybrids are vigorous, they may be sterile
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Hybrid breakdown: Some first-generation hybrids are fertile, but when they mate with another species or with either parent species, offspring of the next generation are feeble or sterile

Limitations of the Biological Species Concept
• The biological species concept does not apply to
– Asexual organisms
– Fossils
– Organisms about which little is known regarding their reproduction
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Other Definitions of Species
• Morphological: defines a species by structural features
• Paleontological: focuses on morphologically discrete species known only from the fossil record
• Ecological: views a species in terms of its ecological niche
• Phylogenetic: defines a species as a set of organisms with a unique genetic history
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Concept 24.2: Speciation can take place with or without geographic separation
• Speciation can occur in two ways:
– Allopatric speciation
– Sympatric speciation
LE 24-5LE 24-5
Allopatric speciation Sympatric speciation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Allopatric (“Other Country”) Speciation
• In allopatric speciation, gene flow is interrupted or reduced when a population is divided into geographically isolated subpopulations
• One or both populations may undergo evolutionary change during the period of separation
LE 24-6LE 24-6
A. harrisi A. leucurus

• To determine if allopatric speciation has occurred, reproductive isolation must have been established

Sympatric (“Same Country”) Speciation
• In sympatric speciation, speciation takes place in geographically overlapping populations
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Polyploidy
• Polyploidy is presence of extra sets of chromosomes due to accidents during cell division
• It has caused the evolution of some plant species
• An autopolyploid is an individual with more than two chromosome sets, derived from one species
LE 24-8LE 24-8
Failure of cell division in a cell of a growing diploid plant after chromosome duplication gives rise to a tetraploid branch or other tissue.
Gametes produced by flowers on this tetraploid branch are diploid.
Offspring with tetraploid karyo-types may be viable and fertile—a new biological species.

Habitat Differentiation and Sexual Selection
• Sympatric speciation can also result from the appearance of new ecological niches
• In cichlid fish, sympatric speciation has resulted from nonrandom mating due to sexual selection

Allopatric and Sympatric Speciation: A Summary
• In allopatric speciation, a new species forms while geographically isolated from its parent population
• In sympatric speciation, a reproductive barrier isolates a subset of a population without geographic separation from the parent species
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Adaptive Radiation
• Adaptive radiation is the evolution of diversely adapted species from a common ancestor upon introduction to new environmental opportunities

Studying the Genetics of Speciation
• The explosion of genomics is enabling researchers to identify specific genes involved in some cases of speciation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Tempo of Speciation
• The fossil record includes many episodes in which new species appear suddenly in a geologic stratum, persist essentially unchanged through several strata, and then apparently disappear
• Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould coined the term punctuated equilibrium to describe periods of apparent stasis punctuated by sudden change
• The punctuated equilibrium model contrasts with a model of gradual change in a species’ existence

Concept 24.3: Macroevolutionary changes can accumulate through many speciation events
• Macroevolutionary change is cumulative change during thousands of small speciation episodes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Evolutionary Novelties
• Most novel biological structures evolve in many stages from previously existing structures
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Some complex structures, such as the eye, have had similar functions during all stages of their evolution

Evolution of the Genes That Control Development
• Genes that program development control the rate, timing, and spatial pattern of changes in an organism’s form as it develops into an adult
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Changes in Rate and Timing
• Heterochrony is an evolutionary change in the rate or timing of developmental events
• It can have a significant impact on body shape
• Allometric growth is the proportioning that helps give a body its specific form

• In paedomorphosis, the rate of reproductive development accelerates compared with somatic development
• The sexually mature species may retain body features that were juvenile structures in an ancestral species
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Changes in Spatial Pattern
• Substantial evolutionary change can also result from alterations in genes that control the placement and organization of body parts
• Homeotic genes determine such basic features as where wings and legs will develop on a bird or how a flower’s parts are arranged
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• The products of one class of homeotic genes called Hox genes
• Hox genes provide positional information in the development of fins in fish and limbs in tetrapods

• According to the species selection model, trends may result when species with certain characteristics endure longer and speciate more often than those with other characteristics
• The appearance of an evolutionary trend does not imply that there is some intrinsic drive toward a particular phenotype
