briefly describe an example of speciation
Answers
Explanation:
Allopatric speciation occurs when an animal population is forced to be split between two geographical areas as a result of geographical change. As a result, there are mutations that occur in the split populations which affect the ability of the two groups to reproduce if and when they are reintroduced.
Some Examples of Speciation
You can see a lot of different examples of speciation in nature. Some of these different examples include:
Hawthorn fly
Three-spined sticklebacks
Cichlid fishes in Lake Nagubago
Tennessee cave salamanders
Greenish Warbler
Ensatina salamanders
Larus gulls
Petroica multicolor
Drosophila
Mayr bird fauna
Finches
Squirrels in the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon
Apple maggot
Faeroe Island house mouse
Primula kewensis
Croatian lizards
Speciation can be natural and can occur as a normal part of the evolutionary process. Artificial speciation is also possible and can be created by laboratory experiments or through agriculture and animal husbandry. Fruit flies are a primary example of artificial speciation. Another well-known example is domestic sheep.
