    Evolutionary biology Image Speciation modes.svg left thumb 300px Comparison of allopatric speciation allopatric , peripatric, parapatric speciation parapatric and sympatric speciation sympatric speciation . 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.

  1. Allochrony

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The term allochrony is used in ecology to describe a situation where two biological entities typically species occur in the same area, and are thus sympatric , but are never or rarely active simultaneously. The most common temporal scale at which this is seen is seasonal, and greater emphasis is placed on the phenomenon when the two entities share a common resource for which they would otherwise be in competition for example, feeding on the same host biology host plant, or consuming the same prey . Allochrony is one of the few ecological phenomena that lend clear support to models and theories of sympatric speciation the idea that related lineages can differentiate into independent gene pool s while still sharing the same physical environment, simply by virtue of changes in the life cycle that lead to separation in time of different portions of the ancestral population.
