    The document discusses patterns of evolution including speciation, reproductive isolation, geographical isolation, convergent evolution, and divergent evolution. Speciation is the origin of new species which increases diversity. Reproductive isolation and geographical isolation prevent closely related species from interbreeding through mechanisms like different breeding seasons, behaviors, habitats, or geographical barriers. Convergent evolution results in unrelated species developing similar adaptations to their environments, while divergent evolution occurs when a common ancestor adapts to diverse environments through adaptive radiation.

    Patterns of Evolution

    Ms. Robichaud Centreville High School

    A population whose individuals are capable of interbreeding, producing fertile offspring

    What is a species?

    Speciation
    The origin of new species

    Diversity increases

    So
    What keeps existing species that are similar and closely related from interbreeding?

    Timing different breeding seasons (fall vs. winter) Behavior different courtship/mating rituals (bird songs) Habitat different habitats in the same general location (lake bottom vs. open water)

    1. Reproductive Isolation

    Separation of populations due to geographical barrier:


    mountain glacier small group resettles to isolated

    2. Geographical Isolation

    Patterns of Evolution

    Unrelated species from similar environmen ts have adaptations that seem very similar

    1. Convergent Evolution

    Cactus

    Euphorbia

    Evolution from a common ancestor of many species adapted to diverse environments Adaptive radiation:

    2. Divergent Evolution
