Question
The following information applies to all three questions. On the mainland is a population of
more than 10,000 individuals of a land-dwelling species. On a distant offshore island is a
population of 100-200 individuals. The island population is descended from a few individuals
that by chance arrived from the mainland 100 years (at least 50 generations) ago on a floating
log. There has been little or no gene flow between the island and the mainland since the
founders arrived. You can specify for your discussion what kind of plant, animal, or other
organism this is.

3. Tell how the species might be named and how you would
determine the proper species name(s). If there were one or more
undescribed species, what process would you follow to assign
needed names?
