• Speciation: the origin of species• How many species? • Number described: 1.5 – 1.6 million• Number estimated: 5-6 million to 100 million.• Species: smallest evolutionarily independent unit
(fundamental unit of biodiversity). • Species boundaries
– geographical– genetic
– How do species originate?– Speciation mechanisms

• Attempt to create a parthenogenetic species in the lab.
• Attempt spanned a period of > 29 years
• 74 males of four species caged with 156 females of nine species
• Each group kept together for at least six months.
• A total of only five hybrids from three crosses were obtained over the 29 years.
• Hybrids were raised to adulthood to see if they would reproduce, but none did.
• The hybrid status of suspected laboratory hybrids was confirmed by karyotypic, allozyme, and morphological analyses, and histological studies were made on reproductive tissues of the hybrids, which were apparently sterile.
• Three laboratory hybrids of two bisexual species, A. inornata arizonae (♀) x A. tigris marmorata (♂)…..progenitor species of A. neomexicana.
• These three individuals from one clutch of eggs were the only hybrids between two bisexual species that we obtained.

• Speciation Mechanisms
• Most animal speciation is visualized as lineage splitting.
• Y
• Darwinian idea: slow accumulation of genetic differences.
• Another idea: big changes can occur rapidly from small changes in developmental pathways.
• Basic speciation models require separation of gene pools.
• 1. Dispersal: either setting up peripheral isolates or island hopping.
• 2. Vicariance: population is subdivided by extraneous geological or climatic events.
• 3. Habitat segregation
typically messy
