specification
|
origin of new species.
|
|
evolutionary theory
|
explains how new species originate/evolve
|
|
macroevolution
|
above species level
|
|
microevoltuion
|
within one population
|
|
anagenesis
|
phyletic evolution where one species gives way to another species.
|
|
cladogenesis
|
branching evolution where the gene pool splits into one or more species.
|
|
biological species concept
|
members of a biological species are reproductively compatible paternally. cannot breed with other populations.
|
|
reproductive isolation
|
exsitance of barriers or factors that impede species from producing viable, fertile offspring.
|
|
prezybotic barrier
|
impedes mating before zygote is formed.
|
|
habitat isolation
|
a prezygotic barrier where two organisms are in different areas and therefore do not mate.
|
|
temporal isolation
|
prezygotic reproductive barrier that includes different breeding schedules
|
|
behavioral isolation
|
prezygotic reproductive barrier that makes the courtship rituals different.
|
|
mechanical isolation
|
prezygotic barrier, but post-mating that means the organisms appear differently and therfore cannot mate.
|
|
gametic isolation
|
prezygotic, post-mating barrier that makes the gametes non-compatible.
|
|
post zygotic barriers
|
reproductive barriers after the zygote is formed.
|
|
reduced viability
|
post-zygotic barrier when genes interact badly.
|
|
Reduced hybrid fertility
|
post-zygotic barrier where offspring are not fertile and therefore not fit.
|
|
hybrid breakdown
|
post-zygotic barrier where F2 generation and future generations are feeble and sterile. this is not quick but over several generations.
|
|
morphological species concept
|
species concept defined by structures.
|
|
paleontological species concept
|
species concept where morphologically discrete species are known only by the fossil record.
|
|
ecological species concept
|
species concept in terms of nieche.
|
|
phylogenetic species concept
|
species concept where set of organisms with unique genetic history are connected.
|
|
allopatric specitation
|
where the population is geographically divided, leading to reproductive isolation.
|
|
sympatric specitation
|
"same country" specitation where the populations are geographically overlapping
|
|
polyploidy
|
where a species has extra sets of chromosomes in division accidents.
|
|
autopolyploid
|
more than 2 sets of chromosomes
|
|
allopolyploid
|
multiple sets of chromosomes.
|
|
adaptive radiation
|
evolution of diversly adapted species from common ancestor with the introduction of new enviromental opportunities.
|
|
punctuated equilibrium
|
periods of stasis punctuated by change (in evolution)
|
|
heterochrony
|
evolutionary change in rate or timing of developmental events.
|
|
allometric growth
|
proportioning that gives body specific form.
|
|
paedomorphosis
|
reproductive development goes up while somatic development goes down, leaving a more juvinile or fetal looking organism.
|
|
spatial pattern
|
genes that control placement and organization of the body.
|
|
homoetic genes
|
spatial pattern genes (control placement and ogranization)
|
|
hox genes
|
homoetic/spatial pattern genes that form fish fins and vertebre limbs.
|
|
species selection model
|
trends where species endure longer and specitate more often than those with other characteristics. (not neccesarily better)
|
|
parapatric specitation
|
specitation where an adjacent nieche forms and the populations become noncompatible.
