Open QuestionName the two types of speciation represented by this diagram. For each type, describe how reproductive barriers may develop between the new species.
Open QuestionWhat distinguishes a morphospecies?a. It has distinctive characteristics, such as size, shape, or coloration.b. It represents a distinct branch in a phylogeny of populations.c. It is reproductively isolated from other species.d. It is a fossil from a distinct time in Earth history.
Open QuestionMales of different species of the fruit fly Drosophila that live in the same parts of the Hawaiian Islands have different elaborate courtship rituals. These rituals involve fighting other males and making stylized movements that attract females. What type of reproductive isolation does this represent?a. habitat isolationb. temporal isolationc. behavioral isolationd. gametic isolation
Open QuestionWhich of the following describes vicariance?a. Small populations coalesce into one large population.b. A population is fragmented into isolated subpopulations.c. Individuals colonize a novel habitat.d. Individuals disperse and found a new population.
