Which of the following is not an event that can contribute to allopatric speciation?
a.
A mountain range forms and splits two populations into populations that begin to turn into new species.
b.
A subset of individuals disperse to a far away island and begin to turn into a new species.
c.
Two populations breed in the same location but at different times, and therefore begin to turn into two new species.
d.
A river splits a population into two populations and the two populations begin to diverge on either side of the river.
e.
All of these are potential contributors to allopatric speciation.
Indicate whether each of the following conditions would tend to cause speciation to occur faster (F),
or if it would tend to slow down or prevent speciation (S). Put either an F or an S in each box.
A. a small sub-group of a population becomes geographically isolated from the main population and
experiences new environmental conditions
B. a large population of herbivores lives in an environmental where the conditions have remained
stable over a long period of time
C. a colony of monkeys clinging to floating debris is washed out to sea by a storm and lands on an
island with diverse habitats, abundant food, but without any other primates
D. a large population of a migratory species splits up every year and takes different routes to their
common mating territory
A defining characteristic of sympatric speciation is
a.The appearance of new species in the midst of old ones
b.Asexually reproducing populations
c.Geographic isolation.
d.Large populations

A. Natural selection acted on beak shape, and resulted in different beak morphologies for different food sources. B. Assortative mating reinforced existing divergence between birds. C. Speciation of finches started by birds starting to specialize on different food sources. D. Speciation of finches on the same island is due to allopatric speciation.arrow_forwardClimate change and glacial advances during the Pleistocene ice age (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) split the ranges of several North American bird species into western and eastern populations. The western and eastern populations eventually diverged into two species. What is this an example of? A. Allopatric speciation following dispersal B. Allopatric speciation via vicariance C. Sympatric speciation due to balancing selection D. Sympatric speciation via autopolyploidy E. Sympatric speciation via allopolyploidyarrow_forward
- A population of lizards colonizes a region and feeds on small arthropod species. Over time, a small group within the population starts eating different types of worms. Over time, this group develops inherited traits that help them catch, eat, and digest the worms. The two lizard groups share the same habitat but no longer recognize each other’s mating calls. What does this scenario best describe? A. speciation without geographic isolation B. natural selection without speciation C. increased genetic variation without speciation D. decreased genetic variation with geographic isolationarrow_forwardWhich of the following may be true of two species that are a result of allopatric speciation? Select all that apply. a They will be genotypically similar. b They will be phenotypically similar. c They can produce viable offspring. d They will be geographically isolated.arrow_forwardWhich of the following could result in allopatric speciation? A. Two populations of a species are separated by a river that they are unable to cross. B. Two populations of a species are separated by a field that is too dry during the summertime. C. One group within a population mates during the evenings and another during the mornings. D. One group within a population develops a new mating ritual that is not recognized by the other.arrow_forward
