2. Reproductive isolation reduces gene flow between populations. This means that each subpopulation evolves separately and can result in a new species. Isolating mechanisms fall into the following categories. For each category, identify which example(s) from the chart above matches it. Reproductive Isolation: physiology prevents mating or producing fertile offspring Ex. Shape or reproductive organs not compatible. Temporal individuals mate at different times of year. Example: frogs that mate in May versus those that mate in July Isolation: timing isolation, Behavioral Isolation: behaviors prevent mating, Example: Birds recognize mates by songs or dance

1. A population of snails that has striped and unstriped individuals has recently moved into a new region. Birds break the snails open by dropping them onto the rocks. The birds eat the bodies of the snails and leave the shells. In one area, researchers counted both live snails and broken shells. The data are summarized below. Number of Snail Shells Striped Shells Unstriped Shells Snails living snails broken (dead) 264 296 486 277 snails a) Analyze the data. Which form of snail (striped or unstriped) is more likely to be caught by the birds for food? Explain how you know. b) Suggest a hypothesis to explain what is happening to the snails. c) Predict and explain how the frequencies of striped and unstriped individuals in the population might change over many generations.
3. Can the populations make hybrid offspring? Is there evidence that individuals from the popula- tions interbreed to make hybrid offspring? If so, are the offspring plentiful, healthy, and able to reproduce? Example: Lions and tigers don't normally mate in nature, but in captivity they sometimes produce hybrid offspring. These offspring are rare, short-lived, and unable to reproduce. Evidence: Healthy offspring Offspring are rare or less likely to reproduce No Consider the evidence together. Do you think the populations make healthy hybrid offspring? offspring N/A 1 2 3 4 5
Below is a cartoon depicting various geological events, starting with one large island (panel 1) and ending with four smaller islands sequentially splitting off from each other (panels 2 to 5). Initially, there was only Species A inhabiting on the big island. However, as time went on, more species evolved on these smaller islands, such that at the current time (panel 5), there are five species. Their phylogenetic relationships are shown on the last panel. 1 2 evelves into species 3 4 velves ite evolres nto A 5. 2 D] A Based on the history depicted, MOST of these speciation events are likely mediated through? the sympatric speciation process the reinforcement process the dispersal and colonization process the vicariance process the hybridization process
