1. After a big storm , 2 populations of birds are separated on 2 separate islands. After many generations , these 2 populations can no longer produce viable offspring. a) temporal speciation b) sympatric speciation c) allopatric speciation d) all of above e) none of above 2. A scientist has discovered a new, extinct species of mammals. Which of these concepts would be most useful for defining the taxonomy of this species? a) biological species concept b) phylogenetic concept c) phenetic species concept d) all methods are equally useful e) none of above 3. Assigning the level as "mass extinction" to an extinction event requires: a) significant increase over background extinction rate b) large number of extinctions c) a reduced origination rate d) none of above

1. Which of the following models of speciation hinges on a physical barrier which prevents gene flow between populations? a. sympatric speciation b. allopatric speciation c. hybrid speciation d. speciation by polyploidy e. speciation via pollinator shifts 2. "Sympatric species with matching chromosome numbers are rare." What is a plausible reason for this? a. because allopatric speciation is far more common b. because sympatric speciation has only been hypothesized but not documented c. because coexisting populations need a boundary to gene flow before divergence can occur, and differences in chromosome numbers provide this d. because macroevolution is just a theory

A group of fly species vary in their wing pigmentation. Four of the species have dark wings, and the same version of the pigment molecule is involved in the color in all four species. If the wing pigment evolved INDEPENDENTLY in all four fly species, what pattern would you expect in the fly phylogeny? a. The four dark-winged fly species form a single clade (they are each other's closest relatives). b. The four fly species with dark wings are not close relatives.

Match the evolution concepts. a. leads to interdependent species b. changes in a population's allele frequencies due to chance alone c. allele frequencies change owing to immigration, emigration, or both d. survival of the fittest e. burst of divergences from one lineage into a set of niches f. source of new alleles gene flow natural selection mutation genetic drift adaptive radiation coevolution
