Peripatric and peripatry are terms from biogeography , referring to organism s whose ranges are closely adjacent but do not overlap, being separated where these organisms do not occur &ndash for example a wide river or a mountain range. Such organisms are usually closely related e.g. sister species , their distribution being the result of peripatric speciation . Peripatric speciation is a form of speciation , the formation of new species through evolution . In this form, new species are formed in isolated peripheral populations this is similar to allopatric speciation in that populations are isolated and prevented from exchanging genes. However, peripatric speciation, unlike allopatric speciation, proposes that one of the populations is much smaller than the other. One possible consequence of peripatric speciation is that a geographically widespread ancestral species becomes paraphyletic , thereby becoming a paraspecies . The concept of a paraspecies is therefore a logical consequence of the Evolutionary Species Concept, by which one species give rise to a daughter species.

  1. Hybrid speciation

    Evolutionary biology Hybrid speciation is a form of speciation wherein Hybrid biology hybridization between two different closely related species leads to a novel species, reproductively isolated from the parent species. From the 1940s, reproductive isolation between hybrids and their parents was thought to be particularly difficult to achieve and thus hybrid species considered to be extremely rare. With DNA analysis becoming more accessible in the 1990s, hybrid species have been showed to be a fairly common phenomenon, particularly in plants. ref name Arnold cite book last Arnold first M.L. title ... 296. ref Hybrid speciation ecology A hybrid may have a distinct trait phenotype .

  1. Speciation of ions

    Speciation of ions refers to the changing concentration of varying forms of an ion as the pH of the solution changes. Image Weak acid speciation3.png thumb 200px right The ratio of acid, AH and conjugate base, A sup &minus sup , concentrations varies as the difference between the pH and the p K sub a sub varies, in accordance with the Henderson Hasselbalch equation . The pH of a solution of a monoprotic weak acid can be expressed in terms of the extent of dissociation. After rearranging the expression defining the acid dissociation constant , and putting pH log sub 10 sub H sup sup , one obtains pH p K sub a sub log AH A sup sup This is a form of the Henderson Hasselbalch equation . It can be deduced from this expression that when the acid is 1 dissociated, that is, when AH A sup sup 100, pH p K sub a sub 2 when the acid is 50 dissociated, that is, when AH A sup sup 1, pH p K sub a sub when the acid is 99 dissociated, that is, when AH A sup sup 0.01, pH p K sub a sub 2 It follows that the range of pH within which there is partial dissociation of the acid is about p K sub a sub 2. This is shown graphically at the right. A practical application of these results is that the pH transition range of a pH indicator is approximately p K sub a sub 1 the colour of the indicator in its acid form is different from the colour of the conjugate base form. In the transition range both forms are in equilibrium, so the colour is intermediate. Outside the transition range the concentration of acid or conjugate base is less than 10 and the colour of the major species dominates.

  1. Speciation (genetic algorithm)

    unreferenced date December 2007 Speciation is a process that occurs naturally in evolution and is modeled explicitly in some genetic algorithms . Speciation in nature occurs when two similar reproducing beings evolve to become too dissimilar to share genetic information effectively or correctly. In the case of living organisms , they are incapable of mating to produce offspring . Interesting special cases of different species being able to breed exist, such as a horse and a donkey mating to produce a mule . However in this case the Mule is usually infertile, and so the genetic isolation of the two parent species is maintained. In implementations of genetic search algorithms, the event of speciation is defined by some mathematical function that describes the similarity between two candidate solutions usually described as individuals in the population. If the result of the similarity is too low, the chromosomal crossover crossover Operation mathematics operator is disallowed between those individuals.

  1. Genetic isolate

    Unreferenced date April 2008 Expert subject Genetics date April 2008 A genetic isolate is population of organisms that has little genetic mixing with other organisms within the same species. This may result in speciation , but this is not necessarily the case. Genetic isolates may form new species in several ways allopatric speciation , in which two populations of the same species are geographically isolated from one another by an extrinsic barrier, and evolve intrinsic genetic reproductive isolation peripatric speciation , in which a small group of a population is separated from the main population, and experiences genetic drift parapatric speciation , in which zones of two diverging populations are separate, but do overlap somewhat partial separation is afforded by geography, so individuals of each species may come in contact from time to time, but selection for specific behaviours or mechanisms may prevent breeding between the two groups. sympatric speciation , a contentious method of speciation in which species diverge while inhabiting the same place. Human influences on genetic isolates include restricted Dog breeding breeding of dogs , or a community living secluded away from others such as Tristan da Cunha or Pitcairn Islands .

  1. Tempo and Mode in Evolution

    italic title Tempo and Mode in Evolution 1944 was George Gaylord Simpson George Gaylord Simpson s seminal contribution to the modern evolutionary synthesis evolutionary synthesis , which integrated the facts of paleontology with those of genetics and natural selection . Simpson argued that the microevolution of population genetics was sufficient in itself to explain the patterns of macroevolution observed by paleontology . Simpson also highlighted the distinction between tempo and mode. Tempo encompasses evolutionary rates . . . their acceleration and deceleration, the conditions of exceptionally slow or rapid evolutions, and phenomena suggestive of inertia and momentum. While mode embraces the study of the way, manner, or pattern of evolution, a study in which tempo is a basic factor, but which embraces considerably more than tempo. Simpson s Tempo and Mode attempted to draw out several distinct generalizations That evolution s tempo can impart information about its mode. That multiple tempos can be found in the fossil record bradytelic, tachytelic, horotelic . That the facts of paleontology are consistent with the Neo Darwinism genetical theory of natural selection . Moreover, that theories such as orthogenesis , Lamarckism , mutation pressures, and Hopeful Monster macromutations are either false or play little to no role. Most evolution& 151 nine tenths & 151 occurs by the steady phyletic transformation of whole lineages anagenesis . In contrast to Ernst Mayr Ernst Mayr s interpretation of speciation by splitting, particularly Allopatric speciation allopatric and Peripatric speciation peripatric speciation. The lack of evidence for evolutionary transitions in the fossil record is best accounted for, first, by the poorness of the geological record, and secondly as a consequence of quantum evolution which is responsible for the origin taxonomic units of relatively high rank, such as families, orders, and classes. .

Mountain pigeons live in the forested hills and mountains of certain islands in eastern Indonesia and in the region of Melanesia . They are tree dwellers and eat fruit. A remarkable aspect of these pigeons is that they have bright red skin around the eyes. Otherwise, they are dark gray on the back and wings, with paler heads and undersides. Males and females look mostly alike, though the female Papuan Mountain Pigeon has a grayer belly than the male. Mountain pigeons move around a lot and are often seen flying, usually in Flock birds flocks of at least ten or as many as a hundred or more birds. They are not known to do a lot of loud cooing, rather their vocalizations are muted or wheezy when they make any noise at all. The ranges of the three species do not overlap, so this genus is an example of probable allopatric speciation . Two species are island Endemism endemics the Buru Mountain Pigeon is endemic to the Maluku Islands , and the Pale Mountain Pigeon is endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago Solomon Islands .

This is based on the idea that a new allele which has arisen at one locus in one population should not cause decreased fitness when placed into the identical except for one allele genetic background of the second population. Therefore another allele at a second locus which is incompatible with the first must have arisen.
