Speciation can evolve gradually or through mechanisms like polyploidy, occurring in either allopatric or sympatric populations. Population genetics highlights that allele frequencies within a population tend to favor heterozygosity under random conditions, with P and Q representing allele frequencies.

Bio 311D Levin

Extinction

May open up niches
5 major extinctions have occured
Eliminatino of a Species

Population Genetics

Few alleles are lost in normal conditions
If random, tends toward heterozygosity
P nd Q are frequency of alleles

Species Interactions

May be positive or negative
Competition harms both species
Also include predation, commensalism

Global Warming

Will alter species ranges
Will increase ocean levels
Will alter environments and ecosystems
Caused by higher greenhouse gas levels

Speciation

Can occur by polyploidy
Usually occurs gradually
Allopatric or Sympatric

Inbreeding

Detrimental to Species
Creates inbreeding depression
Reduces genetic variation
