Ecological Speciation (Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution)

Product Information

There is abundant evidence in plants that crosses between ploidy levels are less successful than crosses within ploidy levels, due in large part to a mismatch between the ploidy of the developing embryo and the ploidy of the endosperm ( Ramsey and Schemske 1998). The fertility of progeny produced from between-ploidy crosses is also much reduced due to a high frequency of chromosomal duplications and deficiencies that render gametes inviable ( Ramsey and Schemske 1998; Husband and Sabara 2004). Furthermore, these reproductive barriers are present immediately following hybrid formation; hence, it is reasonable to conclude that such postzygotic isolation might cause speciation without ecological divergence. Flo Nozoil contains all three natural forms of Vitamin E (alpha, beta and gamma). Flo Nozoil is available in either a metered pump spray or squeeze dropper bottle.

Nosil, P., Harmon, L. J. & Seehausen, O. Ecological explanations for (incomplete) speciation. Trends in Ecology & Evolution 24, 145–156 (2009). Even among biologists who believe speciation is sometimes nonecological, there is broad agreement that adaptation plays a significant role in most cases ( Templeton 2008). Nevertheless, the mechanisms whereby genetic changes resulting from adaptation contribute to the evolution of reproductive isolation remain poorly understood. Consider the many ways in which even a single adaptive mutation may affect multiple components of reproductive isolation. For example, adaptation to different habitats may lead to the restriction of gene flow and a gene contributing to this divergence may have pleiotropic effects on other traits, and these may cause more isolation. This leads to the question, how do the genetic and phenotypic changes required for speciation arise, and how do they cause complete reproductive isolation?

The primary difficulty lies in the potentially complex relationship between the niche occupied by species, the geographic landscape over which the appropriate ecological conditions exist, and dispersal limitation ( Crispo et al. 2006; Nosil 2008; Price 2008). Geographic ranges are the product of both ecological and historical factors ( Endler 1982; Coyne and Orr 2004; Thorpe et al. 2008), and most speciation events probably begin with an allopatric phase ( Coyne and Orr 2004). Therefore, one cannot assume that all geographic isolation is based upon biological differences between taxa. Dobzhansky (1937, p. 231) recognized this problem in discussing the role of geography in speciation, saying, “… Geographical isolation is therefore on a different plane from any kind of physiological one. This consideration has to be qualified, because the occupation of separate areas by two species may be due not only to the fact that they have developed there, but also to the presence of physiological characteristics that make each species attached to the environment… .” Clearly Dobzhansky appreciated that historical processes leading to allopatry will often give way to ecological processes as populations adapt to different habitats. A speciation process in which divergent natural selection drives the evolution of reproductive incompatibility (i.e., isolation) between taxa ( Nosil et al. 2009, p. 145). Assess how adaptation contributed to the evolution of traits conferring reproductive isolation. Although it seems clear that adaptation is a key feature of speciation, few studies have identified the link between natural selection and adaptive traits that directly or indirectly cause reproductive isolation. The use of segregating hybrid populations ( Schemske and Bradshaw 1999) and/or allele substitution lines ( Bradshaw and Schemske 2003) can help reconstruct the selective scenarios that resulted in speciation.Hybrid incompatibility and sterility between D. melanogaster and sibling species D. simulans, D. mauritiana, and D. sechellia involves the Hmr gene that exhibits signature of positive selection. Evaluate the role of chromosomal rearrangements in speciation. Stochastic forces may sometimes interact with adaptive processes to affect the resulting reproductive isolation. Chromosomal inversions, for example, may enhance isolation by building complexes of genes that are protected from recombination (e.g., Brown et al. 2004). Mallet, J. et al.

While sympatry indicates that a portion of the geographic range is suitable for both species, an ecological niche model represents an average niche across all samples used to generate the model. Therefore, despite coexistence in some regions, two taxa can show significant niche differences, and achieve some ecogeographic isolation as a result. As mentioned above, in cases with partial sympatry, we would predict a higher correlation between effective and ecogeographic isolation because dispersal limitation is unlikely to be the cause of differences in geographic range.

The longstanding view that speciation mechanisms can be studied only in sympatric populations has led to the virtual neglect of geographic isolation as a legitimate isolating barrier. We argue that a genetically based difference in the geographic ranges of populations and species due to local adaptation is an important and overlooked isolating barrier. This ecogeographic isolation can be distinguished from the effective geographic isolation, which can include contributions from historical and genetic factors, through reciprocal transplant experiments and/or ecological niche modeling. Although these approaches are often difficult to implement, they are necessary to evaluate how genetically based differences in the spatial distributions of populations and species may have contributed to speciation, and how current and future distributions might affect gene flow.
