Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
p2 + 2pq + q2= 1.0

Hardy said the gene frequency (genotypes and allele frequency) would remain the same as long as____,____,____,____.
the population is large, there is no mutation, no enmigration, and no inmigration.
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is true unless
there is evolution
systematically reduced genetic (organismic) biological evolution
is a change in gene (or allele) genotype freqeuencies in a population over generations
organic revolution
change in the frequency of inherited trait in a population over generations.
three broad levels of organic evolution
microevolution, speciation, macroevolution
microevolution
change in allele frequencies or chromosome segment frequencies or chromosome number frequencies in a population over generations
e.g. mosquito population more resistant to DDT
speciation
formation of a new species.
In animal species, (at least) speciation most commonly occurs by
allopatric speciation.
allopatric populations
have non overlapping geographic areas
sympatric populations
have overlapping geographic ranges
e.g. all of the trees at B.I.L Hill
peripatric populations
have barely overlapping geographic ranges.
How does allopatric speciation begin?
when some member(s) of a population becoming geographically separated from the rest of the population. i.e., dispersal and colonization as a founder event, or formation of a geographic barrier through a population becoming geographically separated from the rest of the group.
sympatric speciation
new species is produced without geographic separation, and populations become ecologically separated in some general geographic area.
what are two types of mechanisms of reproductive isolation?
pre-zygotic and post zygotic
what does it mean when species are reproductively isolated?
a collection of mechanisms, behaviors, and physiological processes that prevent two different species that mate from producing offspring, or which ensure that any offspring produced is not fertile
members of the different species do not normally mate and produce viable offspring.
viable
fertile
what results in reproductive isolation?
speciation can occur if the gene frequency changes in populations over generations.
polyploidy
changes in the number of chromosome sets.
Charles Darwin’s birthday
19 February, 1809
prezygotic-mechanisms
mechanisms that block reproduction from taking place by preventing fertilization
e.g.,Ecological isolation, Mechanical isolation, temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, gametic isolation
Ecological isolation
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because they live in different habitats in the same area.
e.g., copepod, ectoparasites of flatfish

_Lepeophtheirus thompsoni_ on turbot


_L. europaeus_ on brill

Mechanical isolation
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because of incompatible reproductive structures

e.g., millipedes


e.g., monkey flowers (genus mimulus)

Temporal isolation
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because reproductive times differ

e.g., Gryllus pennsylvanicus fall field cricket


e.g. G. Voletis spring field cricket

Behavioral isolation
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because of different reproduction/courtship rituals
e.g., white-throated sparrow

e.g., white-crowned sparrow by singing


e.g., blue-footed boobies have to kick stomp and flaunt their feet.

Gametic isolation
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because of incompatible sperm cells/ egg cells

e.g. sea urchins


e.g. sorghum

Post-zygotic mechanisms
a mechanism that blocks reproduction after fertilization and zygote formation

i.e., hybrid inviability (mortality)/hybrid sterility

hybrid inviability (mortality)
a situation in which a mating between two individuals creates a hybrid that does not survive past the embryonic stage

e.g., North American Mink


e.g., European Mink


e.g., sorghum

hybrid sterility
members of different populations are reproductively isolated because hybrid offspring of fertile individuals is inviable.

e.g., male/hinny


(mares jack 64) (hinny*stallion 62)=63 chromosomes
