ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION
A speciation in
which biological populations ar
e physically isolated by
an extrinsic barrier and
evolve intrinsic (genetic) reprod
uctive isolation, such that if
the barrier breaks
down, individuals of
the population can no
longer interbreed.
EXAMPLE- Panthera leo leo
And Panthera leo persica
SYMPATRIC POPULATION
Sympatric speciation is
speciation that occurs when
two groups of the same
species live in the same
geographic location, but they
evolve differently until they
can no longer interbreed and
are considered different
species.
EXAMPLE :- Forty species of
drosophila live together in
one locality in austin.
PARAPATRIC SPECIATION
‘Parapatric’ derives from ‘para’
meaning ‘near’ and ‘patria’
meaning ‘country.’ Parapatric
speciation thus occurs when a
smaller population is isolated,
usually at the periphery of a larger
group, and becomes differentiated
to the point of becoming a new
species. Gene flow may remain
possible between the two
populations during the speciation
process, and hybrid zones may be
observed at the interface between
the two populations as a result.
ex:- The blue shading
indicates the range of the polar
bear. The purple shading
indicates areas where both live.
This is an example of peripatric
speciation because polar bears'
ancestors moved to a
new ecological niche on the
periphery of the brown bears'
original habitat.
OTHER TYPES…..
Heteropatric speciation
Heteropatric speciation is a special case of sympatric speciation thatoccurs when different ecotypes or races of the sam
e species geographically coexist but exploit different niches inthe same patchy or heterogeneous environment. Th
us heteropatric speciation is a refinement of our notion ofsympatric speciation in that it represents a behavioral ra
ther than geographic barrier to the flow of genes amongdiverging groups within a population
