Identify which of the following are examples of temporal isolation. Two species have different courtship displays. Two species are sexually active at different times of the day. Two species have different habitat ranges. Two species mate at different times of the year, one in early spring and one during the summer. Two species of wild lettuce grow in the same area, but one flowers in early spring and the other flowers in summer. Two species of birds live in the same area and mate at the same time, but have different songs.

Imagine two populations of penguins live in the same ecosystem. One population begins to exchange stones as a mating ritual while the other population begins to dance by shifting from one foot to the other. Individuals from each population will only mate with individuals that display the appropriate mating ritual. Which type of reproductive isolation mechanism does this scenario describe? Geographic Isolation Habitat Isolation Temporal Isolation Behavioral Isolation
Consider the graphic that is presented and depicts the end-point for the following scenario. At some point in the past, species A resided as a large population entirely within a rectangular geographical area. The population became divided into two isolated populations when, during a major earthquake, a mountain range arose and disrupted gene flow. Over time, the two new populations evolved independently from one another, yielding species B and C. The population comprising species C became divided into two isolated populations when another earthquake created an escarpment that disrupted gene flow. Over time, these two new populations evolved independently from one another, yielding species D and E.Imagine that you were to arrive to the region long after species D and E had evolved, completely oblivious to the scenario that is described above; survey the region for living species in this group; and conduct a cladistic analysis on those species. Assuming that the data that you were to…
Data shown in this figure describes the species richness of mammals and birds among a variety of Sky islands. Which of the following best fits the correlations represented in the graphs? 1) number of individuals increases with area and decreases with isolation 2) species richness increases with area and decreases with isolation 3) species diversity varies depending on area and isolation? Follow up question which model of species distribution and abundance does this data support? 1) Species area relationship 2) species accumulation curve 3) island-biogeography 4) rapoport’s rule

This would be an example of _______ isolation, which is a form of _______ isolation. a. habitat; prezygotic b. temporal; prezygotic c. temporal; postzygotic d. behavioral; postzygotic e. habitat; postzygotic
What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution? Macroevolution occurs on a smaller scale with only one species. Microevolution occurs on a larger scale and includes several different species changing at once. Microevolution occurs when there is a change within a population of a given species. Macroevolution occurs when one species changes into a completely new species. Macroevolution occurs when there is a change within a population of a given species. Microevolution occurs when one species changes into a completely new species. Microevolution occurs on a smaller scale with only one species. Macroevolution occurs on a larger scale and includes several different species changing at once.
There is a fish species that lives in a lake. As the fish population grows, competition for food increases and a group of fish locates a new food source at a different depth in the lake. Over time, two populations with distinct morphologies that allow them to eat various food sources begins to occur in the lake. Which type of speciation (allopatric or sympatric) will mostly likely occur? Why?
What is the relationship between the concept of reproductive and geographical isolation and the concept of species? Illustrate and give concrete examples.
You arrive on an alien planet and settle down to live there for a long time. There are very few species. Two of the species (A and B) are sometimes common and sometimes rare. When you start keeping track of population changes you discover that the population sizes fluctuate on a regular cycle in close synchrony. Species B always increases first, followed by species A. Which of the following would be the best explanation for what you are seeing? Group of answer choices -Species A is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species A's population change -Species A is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population -Species B is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species B's population change -Species B is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population
What is the nature of the reproductive barrier between a species that mates at dawn (sunrise) and a species that mates at dusk (sunset)? gametic temporal habitat behavioral mechanical One insect species mates on goldenrod flowers, while a second species mates on autumn daisies. The two species are mechanically compatible and the flowers bloom at the same time, but the insects do not interbreed. This is an example of __________ isolation. temporal habitat gametic mechanical behavioral
Consider the following scenario. A large population of lizards occupies an extensive range that is relatively uniform ecologically (i.e., in terms of climate and co-occurring species). At a certain point in time, the ancestral population becomes divided down the middle into two similar-sized portions by a barrier that completely prevents the movement of lizards between the descendant populations. Around the same time, a major flood occurs, and a small number of individuals are swept away from the mainland on floating debris and arrive alive on a small offshore island that has no lizards of this species. The habitat on the island is similar to their homeland, but not identical (the climate is slightly different, many mainland species of plants and animals are absent, and a few island species of plants and animals are different from any present on the mainland. Thus, there are now three separate populations. Compare and contrast the expected evolutionary consequences for these…

Three types of distribution patterns occur in wild populations of plants and animals. They are uniform, random, and clumped. Choose from the drop down menus the statements and examples of populations provided to identify the correct distribution patterns. Statements: Organisms are grouped together; occurs in highly competitive environments. No pattern exists in organism distribution; occurs in environments with little competition. Organisms are equally spaced apart; occurs in artificial environments. Examples: Orange trees grow in rows on an orange plantation. A large group of herring fish travel to their spawning grounds. Oyster larvae are dispersed over hundreds of kilometres by strong sea currents.
