Species concepts
What is a species?
What are the criteria for defining a species?

Species consist of interbreeding populations that evolve independently of other populations

Species concepts
Biological species concept - BSC
species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups
![Page 9: Species concept](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813aeb550346895da356f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Species concepts
Biological species concept - BSC
species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups
Problems with BSC
-asexual organisms-hybridization

Species concepts
Phylogenetic species concept - PSC
a species is a monophyletic group composed of the smallest diagnosable cluster of individual organisms within which there is a parental pattern of ancestry and descent
![Page 11: Species concept](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813aeb550346895da356f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Phylogenetic species concept - PSC
a species is a monophyletic group composed of the smallest diagnosable cluster of individual organisms within which there is a parental pattern of ancestry and descent
Problems with PSC
-quantifying synapomorphies

Species concepts
Morphospecies concept - MSC
species are statistically distinguishable from others based upon an analysis of their morphological characteristics
![Page 14: Species concept](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813aeb550346895da356f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Morphospecies concept - MSC

Problems with MSC
-arbitrary-leads to cryptic species

Reliable criteria for identifying species are essential for preserving biodiversity

The speciation process begins when gene flow is disrupted and populations become genetically isolated
![Page 20: Species concept](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813aeb550346895da356f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Prezygotic barriers1 potential mates do not meet
temporal isolation, habitat isolation2 behavioral isolation3 mechanical isolation4 gametic incompatibility
Barriers to gene flow

Prezygotic barriers1 potential mates do not meet
temporal isolation, habitat isolation2 behavioral isolation3 mechanical isolation4 gametic incompatibility
Postzygotic barriers1 zygotic mortality2 hybrid inviability3 hybrid sterility4 F2 hybrid breakdown
Barriers to gene flow

Hybridization occurs when offspring are produced by interbreeding between genetically different populations
![Page 23: Species concept](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813aeb550346895da356f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In intermediate or transitional habitats, hybrid populations may be more fit than either parental population

Hybrid Zones

< parents narrow, short lived reinforcement
= parents wide, long lived coalescence
> parents depends stable zone or
