What is Evolution?
Micro vs. Macroevolution
What is a Population?
Deme: reproductive/breeding population [Larsen: A local population of organisms that have
similar genes, interbreed, and produce offspring]
Gene Pool
What is a Species?
Reproductive Isolation
Fossil Species
EVOLUTIONARY FORCES (MICROEVOLUTION)
MUTATION:
If there is random mating and no evolutionary forces act, the allele frequencies will remain
constant over time and we can predict the next generations genotype frequencies.
Allopatric Speciation
Sympatric Speciation
1) **** no gene flow (or reproductive isolation)****
2) genetic divergence from mutation, genetic drift, and natural selection
Modes of Speciation
How fast does it happen?
Gradualism
do Species Change?
Anagenesis
Cladogenesis
e.g., Adaptive Radiation
