Summary Introduction
Introduction: “Yellow-rumped Warblers” are fairly large birds with a large head, strong bill, and long-narrow tail. Color pattern of these birds differ during summer and winter. Both sexes exhibit attractive gray color during summer with white flare in wings, yellow color on the face, sides, and rump. Males exhibit remarkable shaded pattern, while females are dull and may show some brown color. During winter, these birds are pale brown in color and exhibit a bright yellow rump with some yellow on the sides.

Distinct species that are able to interbreed in nature are said to “hybridize,” and their offspring are called “hybrids.” The gray oak and the Gambel oak can mate to produce fertile hybrids in regions where they co-occur. However, the gene flow in nature is sufficiently limited that, overall, the two species remain phenotypically distinct. If the hybrid offspring survive well and reproduce to the extent that there is a large population of hybrid individuals that breed between themselves but do not interbreed with either of the two original parent species (the gray and the Gambel), which of the following would you say most likely led to the new hybrid species?(a) prezygotic reproductive barriers (b) sympatric speciation (c) allopatric speciation (d) postzygotic reproductive barriers (e) none of the above
A population of interbreeding birds has been split by a geological event after which the isolated part of the
population started to evolve into an incipient species with different mating rituals. Due to a recent environmental
change the two populations are now able to potentially mate again in what is called a hybrid zone. Mating does
take place every now and then but the hybrid offspring appear less able to survive. As a consequence, mating
rituals start to diverge even further. We call this process of continued divergence?
O Fusion
O Behavioral isolation
Reinforcement
O Postzygotic isolation
O Stability
a) Which species is more closely related to the Gray wolf, the Maned Wolf or the jackal (or are they equally related)?
b) Which species is more closely related to the jackal, the Maned wolf or the South American foxes (or are they equally related)?

- 1) Darwin's studies of Galapagos finches are well known in the study of evolution. These studies have been instrumental in helping us understand how new species evolved from pre-existing species. Which statement is true about the speciation of the Galapagos finches? A) The finches evolved traits to help them survive in different environments. B) The finches had different traits that influenced the environment in which they chose to live. C) Genetic variation occurred amongst the finches, giving some a genetic advantage in a changing environment, allowing them to better survive.

- a.) In either a secondary or a primary hybrid zone, what do the graphs above indicate about the relative fitness of the hybrid toads away from the 0-kilometer site on the cline? Why? b.) One explanation for the “stepped cline” in both gene frequencies and morphology is that B. bombina and B. variegata first diverged in allopatry and are now forming a secondary hybrid zone. Is the spatial pattern of genetic and morphological variation consistent with this explanation? Why or why not? c.)

- The red wolf (Canis rufus) was once widespread in the southeastern United States but was declared to be extinct in the wild. Biologists bred captive red wolf individuals and reintroduced them into areas of eastern North Carolina, where they are federally protected as endangered species. The current wild population is estimated to be about 100 individuals. However, a new threat to red wolves has arisen: hybridization with coyotes (Canis latrans), which have become more numerous in the areas inhabited by red wolves. Although red wolves and coyotes differ in morphology and DNA, they are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Social behavior is the main reproductive barrier between the species and is more easily overcome when same-species mates are rare. For this reason, some people think that the endangered status of the red wolf should be withdrawn and resources should not be spent to protect what is not a “pure” species. Do you agree? Why or why not?arrow_forwardSuppose that frequency of a recessive phenotype, white fur color, is about 0.16 (16%) in the local squirrel population. a) What is the frequency of the recessive allele (w)? b) What is the frequency of the dominant allele (W)? c) What percentage of the local squirrel population are not white, but are carriers of the recessive white allele?

According to this definition, one species is distinguished from another when, in nature, it is not possible for matings between individuals from each species to produce fertile offspring. Evolution is an important mechanism in the formation of new species. The evolution of a new species requires several components including all, BUT A) Evolution of a new species requires a long time. B) Evolution of a new species requires the need for a genetic change. C) Evolution of a new species requires a separation that prevents interbreeding.
