Species

The divergence of biological lineages and emergence of reproductive isolation

Species Concepts

Genetic Basis

Barriers to Gene Flow

Contact Between Newly Formed Species

Rates of Speciation

Groups of organisms that mate with one another and produce fertile offspring

Result of speciation

Morphological Species Concept

Biological Species Concept

Lineage Species Concept

Linnaeus

Based on appearance

Limitations

Look alike due to alleles

Sexual Dimorphism

Immature/Adult Stages

Cryptic Species

Reproductive Isolation

Excludes asexual organisms

Groups of interbreeding populations

Includes asexual organisms

Daughter species
