Given the cladogram and the geographic information, is it likely that the Panamanian species arose through allopatric speciation? O No. While the Isthmus of Panama prevents gene flow between the two Panamanian oyster species, it has been a very long time since this barrier (the isthmus) formed. Yes, because the Caribbean Panamanian species is not related to any other oysters east of the Isthmus of Panama, but it is closely related to the Pacific Panamanian species nonian…arrow_forward
