Chapter 16-3 Isolating Mechanisms By Paul and Jae
Speciation means the formation of new species. Speciation:
As new species evolve, populations become reproductively isolated from each other. • There are three isolation mechanisms as new species evolve. Isolating Mechanisms
Reproductive Isolation occurs when the members of two populations cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring. • They can develop in a variety of ways, including 3 other isolations. Reproductive Isolation
One type of isolating mechanism, behavioral isolation, occurs when two populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies for behavior. • Figure 16-11 Behavioral Isolation
A type of isolating mechanisms that occur when two populations are separated by geographic barriers. • Rivers • Mountains • Bodies of Waters Geographic Isolation
A third isolating mechanism is temporal isolation, in which two or more species reproduce at different times. • Example: Three similar species of orchid live in same forest. • But they can’t pollinate to one another because they release pollen on different days. Temporarl Isolation
