Allopatric speciation

November 26, 2023

Not to be confused with allochronic speciation, the related form of speciation where species become isolated by reproductive timing.

Allopatric speciation (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος (állos) 'other', and πατρίς (patrís) 'fatherland') – also referred to as geographic speciation, vicariant speciation, or its earlier name the dumbbell model[1]: 86  – is a mode of speciation that occurs when biological populations become geographically isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with gene flow.

Various geographic changes can arise such as the movement of continents, and the formation of mountains, islands, bodies of water, or glaciers. Human activity such as agriculture or developments can also change the distribution of species populations. These factors can substantially alter a region's geography, resulting in the separation of a species population into isolated subpopulations. The vicariant populations then undergo genetic changes as they become subjected to different selective pressures, experience genetic drift, and accumulate different mutations in the separated populations' gene pools. The barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between the two populations leading to reproductive isolation. If the two populations come into contact they will be unable to reproduce—effectively speciating. Other isolating factors such as population dispersal leading to emigration can cause speciation (for instance, the dispersal and isolation of a species on an oceanic island) and is considered a special case of allopatric speciation called peripatric speciation.

Allopatric speciation is typically subdivided into two major models: vicariance and peripatric. Both models differ from one another by virtue of their population sizes and geographic isolating mechanisms. The terms allopatry and vicariance are often used in biogeography to describe the relationship between organisms whose ranges do not significantly overlap but are immediately adjacent to each other—they do not occur together or only occur within a narrow zone of contact. Historically, the language used to refer to modes of speciation directly reflected biogeographical distributions.[2] As such, allopatry is a geographical distribution opposed to sympatry (speciation within the same area). Furthermore, the terms allopatric, vicariant, and geographical speciation are often used interchangeably in the scientific literature.[2] This article will follow a similar theme, with the exception of special cases such as peripatric, centrifugal, among others.

Observation of nature creates difficulties in witnessing allopatric speciation from "start-to-finish" as it operates as a dynamic process.[3] From this arises a host of various issues in defining species, defining isolating barriers, measuring reproductive isolation, among others. Nevertheless, verbal and mathematical models, laboratory experiments, and empirical evidence overwhelmingly supports the occurrence of allopatric speciation in nature.[4][1]: 87–105  Mathematical modeling of the genetic basis of reproductive isolation supports the plausibility of allopatric speciation; whereas laboratory experiments of Drosophila and other animal and plant species have confirmed that reproductive isolation evolves as a byproduct of natural selection.[1]: 87 

Vicariance model edit

 
A population becomes separated by a geographic barrier; reproductive isolation develops, resulting in two separate species.

The notion of vicariant evolution was first developed by Léon Croizat in the mid-twentieth century.[5][6] The Vicariance theory, which showed coherence along with the acceptance of plate tectonics in the 1960s, was developed in the early 1950s by this Venezuelan botanist, who had found an explanation to the existence of American and Africa similar plants, by deducing that they had originally been a single population before the two continents drifted apart.

Currently, speciation by vicariance is widely regarded as the most common form of speciation;[4] and is the primary model of allopatric speciation. Vicariance is a process by which the geographical range of an individual taxon, or a whole biota, is split into discontinuous populations (disjunct distributions) by the formation of an extrinsic barrier to the exchange of genes: that is, a barrier arising externally to a species. These extrinsic barriers often arise from various geologic-caused, topographic changes such as: the formation of mountains (orogeny); the formation of rivers or bodies of water; glaciation; the formation or elimination of land bridges; the movement of continents over time (by tectonic plates); or island formation, including sky islands. Vicariant barriers can change the distribution of species populations. Suitable or unsuitable habitat may be come into existence, expand, contract, or disappear as a result of global climate change or even large scale human activities (for example, agricultural, civil engineering developments, and habitat fragmentation). Such factors can alter a region's geography in substantial ways, resulting in the separation of a species population into isolated subpopulations. The vicariant populations may then undergo genotypic or phenotypic divergence as: (a) different mutations arise in the gene pools of the populations, (b) they become subjected to different selective pressures, and/or (c) they independently undergo genetic drift. The extrinsic barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between the two populations, potentially leading to differentiation due to the ecologically different habitats they experience; selective pressure then invariably leads to complete reproductive isolation.[1]: 86  Furthermore, a species' proclivity to remain in its ecological niche (see phylogenetic niche conservatism) through changing environmental conditions may also play a role in isolating populations from one another, driving the evolution of new lineages.[7][8]

Allopatric speciation can be represented as the extreme on a gene flow continuum. As such, the level of gene flow between populations in allopatry would be  , where   equals the rate of gene exchange. In sympatry   (panmixis), while in parapatric speciation,   represents the entire continuum,[9] although some scientists argue[2][10] that a classification scheme based solely on geographic mode does not necessarily reflect the complexity of speciation.[11] Allopatry is often regarded as the default or "null" model of speciation,[2][12] but this too is debated.[13]

Reproductive isolation edit

Main article: Reproductive isolation

Reproductive isolation acts as the primary mechanism driving genetic divergence in allopatry[14] and can be amplified by divergent selection.[15] Pre-zygotic and post-zygotic isolation are often the most cited mechanisms for allopatric speciation, and as such, it is difficult to determine which form evolved first in an allopatric speciation event.[14] Pre-zygotic simply implies the presence of a barrier prior to any act of fertilization (such as an environmental barrier dividing two populations), while post-zygotic implies the prevention of successful inter-population crossing after fertilization (such as the production of an infertile hybrid). Since species pairs who diverged in allopatry often exhibit pre- and post-zygotic isolation mechanisms, investigation of the earliest stages in the life cycle of the species can indicate whether or not divergence occurred due to a pre-zygotic or post-zygotic factor. However, establishing the specific mechanism may not be accurate, as a species pair continually diverges over time. For example, if a plant experiences a chromosome duplication event, reproduction will occur, but sterile hybrids will result—functioning as a form of post-zygotic isolation. Subsequently, the newly formed species pair may experience pre-zygotic barriers to reproduction as selection, acting on each species independently, will ultimately lead to genetic changes making hybrids impossible. From the researcher's perspective, the current isolating mechanism may not reflect the past isolating mechanism.[14]

Reinforcement edit

Main article: Reinforcement (speciation)
 
In allopatric speciation, a species population becomes separated by a geographic barrier, whereby reproductive isolation evolves producing two separate species. From this, if a recently separated population comes in contact again, low fitness hybrids may form, but reinforcement acts to complete the speciation process.

Reinforcement has been a contentious factor in speciation.[16] It is more often invoked in sympatric speciation studies, as it requires gene flow between two populations. However, reinforcement may also play a role in allopatric speciation, whereby the reproductive barrier is removed, reuniting the two previously isolated populations. Upon secondary contact, individuals reproduce, creating low-fitness hybrids.[17] Traits of the hybrids drive individuals to discriminate in mate choice, by which pre-zygotic isolation increases between the populations.[11] Some arguments have been put forth that suggest the hybrids themselves can possibly become their own species:[18] known as hybrid speciation. Reinforcement can play a role in all geographic modes (and other non-geographic modes) of speciation as long as gene flow is present and viable hybrids can be formed. The production of inviable hybrids is a form of reproductive character displacement, under which most definitions is the completion of a speciation event.[11]

Research has well established the fact that interspecific mate discrimination occurs to a greater extent between sympatric populations than it does in purely allopatric populations; however, other factors have been proposed to account for the observed patterns.[19] Reinforcement in allopatry has been shown to occur in nature (evidence for speciation by reinforcement), albeit with less frequency than a classic allopatric speciation event.[14] A major difficulty arises when interpreting reinforcement's role in allopatric speciation, as current phylogenetic patterns may suggest past gene flow. This masks possible initial divergence in allopatry and can indicate a "mixed-mode" speciation event—exhibiting both allopatric and sympatric speciation processes.[13]

Mathematical models edit

Developed in the context of the genetic basis of reproductive isolation, mathematical scenarios model both prezygotic and postzygotic isolation with respect to the effects of genetic drift, selection, sexual selection, or various combinations of the three. Masatoshi Nei and colleagues were the first to develop a neutral, stochastic model of speciation by genetic drift alone. Both selection and drift can lead to postzygotic isolation, supporting the fact that two geographically separated populations can evolve reproductive isolation[1]: 87 —sometimes occurring rapidly.[20] Fisherian sexual selection can also lead to reproductive isolation if there are minor variations in selective pressures (such as predation risks or habitat differences) among each population.[21] (See the Further reading section below). Mathematical models concerning reproductive isolation-by distance have shown that populations can experience increasing reproductive isolation that correlates directly with physical, geographical distance.[22][23] This has been exemplified in models of ring species;[11] however, it has been argued that ring species are a special case, representing reproductive isolation-by distance, and demonstrate parapatric speciation instead[1]: 102 —as parapatric speciation represents speciation occurring along a cline.

Other models edit

Various alternative models have been developed concerning allopatric speciation. Special cases of vicariant speciation have been studied in great detail, one of which is peripatric speciation, whereby a small subset of a species population becomes isolated geographically; and centrifugal speciation, an alternative model of peripatric speciation concerning expansion and contraction of a species' range.[4] Other minor allopatric models have also been developed are discussed below.

Peripatric edit

 
In peripatric speciation, a small, isolated population on the periphery of a central population evolves reproductive isolation due to the reduction or elimination of gene flow between the two.
Main article: Peripatric speciation

Peripatric speciation is a mode of speciation in which a new species is formed from an isolated peripheral population.[1]: 105  If a small population of a species becomes isolated (e.g. a population of birds on an oceanic island), selection can act on the population independent of the parent population. Given both geographic separation and enough time, speciation can result as a byproduct.[14] It can be distinguished from allopatric speciation by three important features: 1) the size of the isolated population, 2) the strong selection imposed by the dispersal and colonization into novel environments, and 3) the potential effects of genetic drift on small populations.[1]: 105  However, it can often be difficult for researchers to determine if peripatric speciation occurred as vicariant explanations can be invoked due to the fact that both models posit the absence of gene flow between the populations.[24] The size of the isolated population is important because individuals colonizing a new habitat likely contain only a small sample of the genetic variation of the original population. This promotes divergence due to strong selective pressures, leading to the rapid fixation of an allele within the descendant population. This gives rise to the potential for genetic incompatibilities to evolve. These incompatibilities cause reproductive isolation, giving rise to rapid speciation events.[1]: 105–106  Models of peripatry are supported mostly by species distribution patterns in nature. Oceanic islands and archipelagos provide the strongest empirical evidence that peripatric speciation occurs.[1]: 106–110 

Centrifugal edit

Centrifugal speciation is a variant, alternative model of peripatric speciation. This model contrasts with peripatric speciation by virtue of the origin of the genetic novelty that leads to reproductive isolation.[25] When a population of a species experiences a period of geographic range expansion and contraction, it may leave small, fragmented, peripherally isolated populations behind. These isolated populations will contain samples of the genetic variation from the larger parent population. This variation leads to a higher likelihood of ecological niche specialization and the evolution of reproductive isolation.[4][26] Centrifugal speciation has been largely ignored in the scientific literature.[27][25][28] Nevertheless, a wealth of evidence has been put forth by researchers in support of the model, much of which has not yet been refuted.[4] One example is the possible center of origin in the Indo-West Pacific.[27]

Microallopatric edit

Microallopatry refers to allopatric speciation occurring on a small geographic scale.[29] Examples of microallopatric speciation in nature have been described. Rico and Turner found intralacustrine allopatric divergence of Pseudotropheus callainos (Maylandia callainos) within Lake Malawi separated only by 35 meters.[30] Gustave Paulay found evidence that species in the subfamily Cryptorhynchinae have microallopatrically speciated on Rapa and its surrounding islets.[31] A sympatrically distributed triplet of diving beetle (Paroster) species living in aquifers of Australia's Yilgarn region have likely speciated microallopatrically within a 3.5 km2 area.[32] The term was originally proposed by Hobart M. Smith to describe a level of geographic resolution. A sympatric population may exist in low resolution, whereas viewed with a higher resolution (i.e. on a small, localized scale within the population) it is "microallopatric".[33] Ben Fitzpatrick and colleagues contend that this original definition, "is misleading because it confuses geographical and ecological concepts".[29]

Modes with secondary contact edit

See also: Ecological speciation

Ecological speciation can occur allopatrically, sympatrically, or parapatrically; the only requirement being that it occurs as a result of adaptation to different ecological or micro-ecological conditions.[34] Ecological allopatry is a reverse-ordered form of allopatric speciation in conjunction with reinforcement.[13] First, divergent selection separates a non-allopatric population emerging from pre-zygotic barriers, from which genetic differences evolve due to the obstruction of complete gene flow.[35] The terms allo-parapatric and allo-sympatric have been used to describe speciation scenarios where divergence occurs in allopatry but speciation occurs only upon secondary contact.[1]: 112  These are effectively models of reinforcement[36] or "mixed-mode" speciation events.[13]

As allopatric speciation is widely accepted as a common mode of speciation, the scientific literature is abundant with studies documenting its existence. The biologist Ernst Mayr was the first to summarize the contemporary literature of the time in 1942 and 1963.[1]: 91  Many of the examples he set forth remain conclusive; however, modern research supports geographic speciation with molecular phylogenetics[37]—adding a level of robustness unavailable to early researchers.[1]: 91  The most recent thorough treatment of allopatric speciation (and speciation research in general) is Jerry Coyne and H. Allen Orr's 2004 publication Speciation. They list six mainstream arguments that lend support to the concept of vicariant speciation:

  • Closely related species pairs, more often than not, reside in geographic ranges adjacent to one another, separated by a geographic or climatic barrier.
  • Young species pairs (or sister species) often occur in allopatry, even without a known barrier.
  • In occurrences where several pairs of related species share a range, they are distributed in abutting patterns, with borders exhibiting zones of hybridization.
  • In regions where geographic isolation is doubtful, species do not exhibit sister pairs.
  • Correlation of genetic differences between an array of distantly related species that correspond to known current or historical geographic barriers.
  • Measures of reproductive isolation increase with the greater geographic distance of separation between two species pairs. (This has been often referred to as reproductive isolation by distance.[11])

Endemism edit

See also: Insular biogeography and Elevational diversity gradient

Allopatric speciation has resulted in many of the biogeographic and biodiversity patterns found on Earth: on islands,[38] continents,[39] and even among mountains.[40]

Islands are often home to species endemics—existing only on an island and nowhere else in the world—with nearly all taxa residing on isolated islands sharing common ancestry with a species on the nearest continent.[41] Not without challenge, there is typically a correlation between island endemics and diversity;[42] that is, that the greater the diversity (species richness) of an island, the greater the increase in endemism.[43] Increased diversity effectively drives speciation.[44] Furthermore, the number of endemics on an island is directly correlated with the relative isolation of the island and its area.[45] In some cases, speciation on islands has occurred rapidly.[46]

Dispersal and in situ speciation are the agents that explain the origins of the organisms in Hawaii.[47] Various geographic modes of speciation have been studied extensively in Hawaiian biota, and in particular, angiosperms appear to have speciated predominately in allopatric and parapatric modes.[47]

Islands are not the only geographic locations that have endemic species. South America has been studied extensively with its areas of endemism representing assemblages of allopatrically distributed species groups. Charis butterflies are a primary example, confined to specific regions corresponding to phylogenies of other species of butterflies, amphibians, birds, marsupials, primates, reptiles, and rodents.[48] The pattern indicates repeated vicariant speciation events among these groups.[48] It is thought that rivers may play a role as the geographic barriers to Charis,[1]: 97  not unlike the river barrier hypothesis used to explain the high rates of diversity in the Amazon basin—though this hypothesis has been disputed.[49][50] Dispersal-mediated allopatric speciation is also thought to be a significant driver of diversification throughout the Neotropics.[51]

 
Allopatric speciation can result from mountain topography. Climatic changes can drive species into altitudinal zones—either valleys or peaks. Colored regions indicate distributions. As distributions are modified due to the change in suitable habitats, reproductive isolation can drive the formation of a new species.

Patterns of increased endemism at higher elevations on both islands and continents have been documented on a global level.[40] As topographical elevation increases, species become isolated from one another;[52] often constricted to graded zones.[40] This isolation on "mountain top islands" creates barriers to gene flow, encouraging allopatric speciation, and generating the formation of endemic species.[40] Mountain building (orogeny) is directly correlated with—and directly affects biodiversity.[53][54] The formation of the Himalayan mountains and the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau for example have driven the speciation and diversification of numerous plants and animals[55] such as Lepisorus ferns;[56] glyptosternoid fishes (Sisoridae);[57] and the Rana chensinensis species complex.[58] Uplift has also driven vicariant speciation in Macowania daisies in South Africa's Drakensberg mountains,[59] along with Dendrocincla woodcreepers in the South American Andes.[60] The Laramide orogeny during the Late Cretaceous even caused vicariant speciation and radiations of dinosaurs in North America.[61]

Adaptive radiation, like the Galapagos finches observed by Charles Darwin, is often a consequence of rapid allopatric speciation among populations. However, in the case of the finches of the Galapagos, among other island radiations such as the honeycreepers of Hawaii represent cases of limited geographic separation and were likely driven by ecological speciation.

Isthmus of Panama edit

 
A conceptual representation of species populations becoming isolated (blue and green) by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama (red circle). With the closure, North and South America became connected, allowing the exchange of species (purple). Grey arrows indicate the gradual movement of tectonic plates that resulted in the closure.

Geological evidence supports the final closure of the isthmus of Panama approximately 2.7 to 3.5 mya,[62] with some evidence suggesting an earlier transient bridge existing between 13 and 15 mya.[63] Recent evidence increasingly points towards an older and more complex emergence of the Isthmus, with fossil and extant species dispersal (part of the American biotic interchange) occurring in three major pulses, to and from North and South America.[64] Further, the changes in terrestrial biotic distributions of both continents such as with Eciton army ants supports an earlier bridge or a series of bridges.[65][66] Regardless of the exact timing of the isthmus closer, biologists can study the species on the Pacific and Caribbean sides in what has been called, "one of the greatest natural experiments in evolution".[62] Additionally, as with most geologic events, the closure was unlikely to have occurred rapidly, but instead dynamically—a gradual shallowing of sea water over millions of years.[1]: 93 

Studies of snapping shrimp in the genus Alpheus have provided direct evidence of an allopatric speciation event,[67] as phylogenetic reconstructions support the relationships of 15 pairs of sister species of Alpheus, each pair divided across the isthmus[62] and molecular clock dating supports their separation between 3 and 15 million years ago.[68] Recently diverged species live in shallow mangrove waters[68] while older diverged species live in deeper water, correlating with a gradual closure of the isthmus.[1]: 93  Support for an allopatric divergence also comes from laboratory experiments on the species pairs showing nearly complete reproductive isolation.[1]: 93 

Similar patterns of relatedness and distribution across the Pacific and Atlantic sides have been found in other species pairs such as:[69]

Refugia edit

Ice ages have played important roles in facilitating speciation among vertebrate species.[70] This concept of refugia has been applied to numerous groups of species and their biogeographic distributions.[1]: 97 

Glaciation and subsequent retreat caused speciation in many boreal forest birds,[70] such as with North American sapsuckers (Yellow-bellied, Red-naped, and Red-breasted); the warblers in the genus Setophaga (S. townsendii, S. occidentalis, and S. virens), Oreothlypis (O. virginiae, O. ridgwayi, and O. ruficapilla), and Oporornis (O. tolmiei and O. philadelphia now classified in the genus Geothlypis); Fox sparrows (sub species P. (i.) unalaschensis, P. (i.) megarhyncha, and P. (i.) schistacea); Vireo (V. plumbeus, V. cassinii, and V. solitarius); tyrant flycatchers (E. occidentalis and E. difficilis); chickadees (P. rufescens and P. hudsonicus); and thrushes (C. bicknelli and C. minimus).[70]

As a special case of allopatric speciation, peripatric speciation is often invoked for instances of isolation in glaciation refugia as small populations become isolated due to habitat fragmentation such as with North American red (Picea rubens) and black (Picea mariana) spruce[71] or the prairie dogs Cynomys mexicanus and C. ludovicianus.[72]

Superspecies edit

 
The red shading indicates the range of the bonobo (Pan paniscus). The blue shading indicates the range of the Common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). This is an example of allopatric speciation because they are divided by a natural barrier (the Congo River) and have no habitat in common. Other Pan subspecies are shown as well.

Numerous species pairs or species groups show abutting distribution patterns, that is, reside in geographically distinct regions next to each other. They often share borders, many of which contain hybrid zones. Some examples of abutting species and superspecies (an informal rank referring to a complex of closely related allopatrically distributed species, also called allospecies[73]) include:

In birds, some areas are prone to high rates of superspecies formation such as the 105 superspecies in Melanesia, comprising 66 percent of all bird species in the region.[78] Patagonia is home to 17 superspecies of forest birds,[79] while North America has 127 superspecies of both land and freshwater birds.[80] Sub-Saharan Africa has 486 passerine birds grouped into 169 superspecies.[81] Australia has numerous bird superspecies as well, with 34 percent of all bird species grouped into superspecies.[41]

Laboratory evidence edit

See also: Laboratory experiments of speciation
 
A simplification of an experiment where two vicariant lines of fruit flies were raised on harsh maltose and starch mediums respectively. The experiment was replicated with 8 populations; 4 with maltose and 4 with starch. Differences in adaptations were found for each population corresponding to the different mediums.[82] Later investigation found that the populations evolved behavioral isolation as a pleiotropic by-product from this adaptive divergence.[83] This form of pre-zygotic isolation is a prerequisite for speciation to occur.

Experiments on allopatric speciation are often complex and do not simply divide a species population into two. This is due to a host of defining parameters: measuring reproductive isolation, sample sizes (the number of matings conducted in reproductive isolation tests), bottlenecks, length of experiments, number of generations allowed,[84] or insufficient genetic diversity.[85] Various isolation indices have been developed to measure reproductive isolation (and are often employed in laboratory speciation studies) such as here (index  [86] and index  [87]):

 

 

Here,   and   represent the number of matings in heterogameticity where   and   represent homogametic matings.   and   is one population and   and   is the second population. A negative value of   denotes negative assortive mating, a positive value denotes positive assortive mating (i. e. expressing reproductive isolation), and a null value (of zero) means the populations are experiencing random mating.[84]

The experimental evidence has solidly established the fact that reproductive isolation evolves as a by-product of selection.[15][1]: 90  Reproductive isolation has been shown to arise from pleiotropy (i.e. indirect selection acting on genes that code for more than one trait)—what has been referred to as genetic hitchhiking.[15] Limitations and controversies exist relating to whether laboratory experiments can accurately reflect the long-scale process of allopatric speciation that occurs in nature. Experiments often fall beneath 100 generations, far less than expected, as rates of speciation in nature are thought to be much larger.[1]: 87  Furthermore, rates specifically concerning the evolution of reproductive isolation in Drosophila are significantly higher than what is practiced in laboratory settings.[88] Using index Y presented previously, a survey of 25 allopatric speciation experiments (included in the table below) found that reproductive isolation was not as strong as typically maintained and that laboratory environments have not been well-suited for modeling allopatric speciation.[84] Nevertheless, numerous experiments have shown pre-zygotic and post-zygotic isolation in vicariance, some in less than 100 generations.[1]: 87 

Below is a non-exhaustive table of the laboratory experiments conducted on allopatric speciation. The first column indicates the species used in the referenced study, where the "Trait" column refers to the specific characteristic selected for or against in that species. The "Generations" column refers to the number of generations in each experiment performed. If more than one experiment was formed generations are separated by semicolons or dashes (given as a range). Some studies provide a duration in which the experiment was conducted. The "Selection type" column indicates if the study modeled vicariant or peripatric speciation (this may not be explicitly). Direct selection refers to selection imposed to promote reproductive isolation whereas indirect selection implies isolation occurring as a pleiotropic byproduct of natural selection; whereas divergent selection implies deliberate selection of each allopatric population in opposite directions (e.g. one line with more bristles and the other line with less). Some studies performed experiments modeling or controlling for genetic drift. Reproductive isolation occurred pre-zygotically, post-zygotically, both, or not at all. It is important to note that many of the studies conducted contain multiple experiments within—a resolution of which this table does not reflect.

History and research techniques edit

Main article: History of speciation

Early speciation research typically reflected geographic distributions and were thus termed geographic, semi-geographic, and non-geographic.[2] Geographic speciation corresponds to today's usage of the term allopatric speciation, and in 1868, Moritz Wagner was the first to propose the concept[135] of which he used the term Separationstheorie.[136] His idea was later interpreted by Ernst Mayr as a form of founder effect speciation as it focused primarily on small geographically isolated populations.[136]

Edward Bagnall Poulton, an evolutionary biologist and a strong proponent of the importance of natural selection, highlighted the role of geographic isolation in promoting speciation,[11] in the process coining the term "sympatric speciation" in 1903.[137]

Controversy exists as to whether Charles Darwin recognized a true geographical-based model of speciation in his publication of the Origin of Species.[136] In chapter 11, "Geographical Distribution", Darwin discusses geographic barriers to migration, stating for example that "barriers of any kind, or obstacles to free migration, are related in a close and important manner to the differences between the productions of various regions [of the world]".[138] F. J. Sulloway contends that Darwin's position on speciation was "misleading" at the least[139] and may have later misinformed Wagner and David Starr Jordan into believing that Darwin viewed sympatric speciation as the most important mode of speciation.[1]: 83  Nevertheless, Darwin never fully accepted Wagner's concept of geographical speciation.[136]

David Starr Jordan played a significant role in promoting allopatric speciation in the early 20th century, providing a wealth of evidence from nature to support the theory.[1]: 86 [135][140] Much later, the biologist Ernst Mayr was the first to encapsulate the then contemporary literature in his 1942 publication Systematics and the Origin of Species, from the Viewpoint of a Zoologist and in his subsequent 1963 publication Animal Species and Evolution. Like Jordan's works, they relied on direct observations of nature, documenting the occurrence of allopatric speciation, of which is widely accepted today.[1]: 83–84  Prior to this research, Theodosius Dobzhansky published Genetics and the Origin of Species in 1937 where he formulated the genetic framework for how speciation could occur.[1]: 2 

Other scientists noted the existence of allopatrically distributed pairs of species in nature such as Joel Asaph Allen (who coined the term "Jordan's Law", whereby closely related, geographically isolated species are often found divided by a physical barrier[1]: 91 ) and Robert Greenleaf Leavitt;[141] however, it is thought that Wagner, Karl Jordan, and David Starr Jordan played a large role in the formation of allopatric speciation as an evolutionary concept;[142] where Mayr and Dobzhansky contributed to the formation of the modern evolutionary synthesis.

The late 20th century saw the development of mathematical models of allopatric speciation, leading to the clear theoretical plausibility that geographic isolation can result in the reproductive isolation of two populations.[1]: 87 

Since the 1940s, allopatric speciation has been accepted.[143] Today, it is widely regarded as the most common form of speciation taking place in nature.[1]: 84  However, this is not without controversy, as both parapatric and sympatric speciation are both considered tenable modes of speciation that occur in nature.[143] Some researchers even consider there to be a bias in reporting of positive allopatric speciation events, and in one study reviewing 73 speciation papers published in 2009, only 30 percent that suggested allopatric speciation as the primary explanation for the patterns observed considered other modes of speciation as possible.[13]

Contemporary research relies largely on multiple lines of evidence to determine the mode of a speciation event; that is, determining patterns of geographic distribution in conjunction with phylogenetic relatedness based on molecular techniques.[1]: 123–124  This method was effectively introduced by John D. Lynch in 1986 and numerous researchers have employed it and similar methods, yielding enlightening results.[144] Correlation of geographic distribution with phylogenetic data also spawned a sub-field of biogeography called vicariance biogeography[1]: 92  developed by Joel Cracraft, James Brown, Mark V. Lomolino, among other biologists specializing in ecology and biogeography. Similarly, full analytical approaches have been proposed and applied to determine which speciation mode a species underwent in the past using various approaches or combinations thereof: species-level phylogenies, range overlaps, symmetry in range sizes between sister species pairs, and species movements within geographic ranges.[37] Molecular clock dating methods are also often employed to accurately gauge divergence times that reflect the fossil or geological record[1]: 93  (such as with the snapping shrimp separated by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama[68] or speciation events within the genus Cyclamen[145]). Other techniques used today have employed measures of gene flow between populations,[13] ecological niche modelling (such as in the case of the Myrtle and Audubon's warblers[146] or the environmentally-mediated speciation taking place among dendrobatid frogs in Ecuador[144]), and statistical testing of monophyletic groups.[147] Biotechnological advances have allowed for large scale, multi-locus genome comparisons (such as with the possible allopatric speciation event that occurred between ancestral humans and chimpanzees[148]), linking species' evolutionary history with ecology and clarifying phylogenetic patterns.[149]

Not to be confused with allochronic speciation the related form of speciation where species become isolated by reproductive timing Allopatric speciation from Ancient Greek ἄllos allos other and patris patris fatherland also referred to as geographic speciation vicariant speciation or its earlier name the dumbbell model 1 86 is a mode of speciation that occurs when biological populations become geographically isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with gene flow Various geographic changes can arise such as the movement of continents and the formation of mountains islands bodies of water or glaciers Human activity such as agriculture or developments can also change the distribution of species populations These factors can substantially alter a region s geography resulting in the separation of a species population into isolated subpopulations The vicariant populations then undergo genetic changes as they become subjected to different selective pressures experience genetic drift and accumulate different mutations in the separated populations gene pools The barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between the two populations leading to reproductive isolation If the two populations come into contact they will be unable to reproduce effectively speciating Other isolating factors such as population dispersal leading to emigration can cause speciation for instance the dispersal and isolation of a species on an oceanic island and is considered a special case of allopatric speciation called peripatric speciation Allopatric speciation is typically subdivided into two major models vicariance and peripatric Both models differ from one another by virtue of their population sizes and geographic isolating mechanisms The terms allopatry and vicariance are often used in biogeography to describe the relationship between organisms whose ranges do not significantly overlap but are immediately adjacent to each other they do not occur together or only occur within a narrow zone of contact Historically the language used to refer to modes of speciation directly reflected biogeographical distributions 2 As such allopatry is a geographical distribution opposed to sympatry speciation within the same area Furthermore the terms allopatric vicariant and geographical speciation are often used interchangeably in the scientific literature 2 This article will follow a similar theme with the exception of special cases such as peripatric centrifugal among others Observation of nature creates difficulties in witnessing allopatric speciation from start to finish as it operates as a dynamic process 3 From this arises a host of various issues in defining species defining isolating barriers measuring reproductive isolation among others Nevertheless verbal and mathematical models laboratory experiments and empirical evidence overwhelmingly supports the occurrence of allopatric speciation in nature 4 1 87 105 Mathematical modeling of the genetic basis of reproductive isolation supports the plausibility of allopatric speciation whereas laboratory experiments of Drosophila and other animal and plant species have confirmed that reproductive isolation evolves as a byproduct of natural selection 1 87 Contents 1 Vicariance model 1 1 Reproductive isolation 1 2 Reinforcement 1 3 Mathematical

Laboratory evidence 5 History and research techniques 6 References 7 Further readingVicariance model edit nbsp A population becomes separated by a geographic barrier reproductive isolation develops resulting in two separate species The notion of vicariant evolution was first developed by Leon Croizat in the mid twentieth century 5 6 The Vicariance theory which showed coherence along with the acceptance of plate tectonics in the 1960s was developed in the early 1950s by this Venezuelan botanist who had found an explanation to the existence of American and Africa similar plants by deducing that they had originally been a single population before the two continents drifted apart Currently speciation by vicariance is widely regarded as the most common form of speciation 4 and is the primary model of allopatric speciation Vicariance is a process by which the geographical range of an individual taxon or a whole biota is split into discontinuous populations disjunct distributions by the formation of an extrinsic barrier to the exchange of genes that is a barrier arising externally to a species These extrinsic barriers often arise from various geologic caused topographic changes such as the formation of mountains orogeny the formation of rivers or bodies of water glaciation the formation or elimination of land bridges the movement of continents over time by tectonic plates or island formation including sky islands Vicariant barriers can change the distribution of species populations Suitable or unsuitable habitat may be come into existence expand contract or disappear as a result of global climate change or even large scale human activities for example agricultural civil engineering developments and habitat fragmentation Such factors can alter a region s geography in substantial ways resulting in the separation of a species population into isolated subpopulations The vicariant populations may then undergo genotypic or phenotypic divergence as a different mutations arise in the gene pools of the populations b they become subjected to different selective pressures and or c they independently undergo genetic drift The extrinsic barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between the two populations potentially leading to differentiation due to the ecologically different habitats they experience selective pressure then invariably leads to complete reproductive isolation 1 86 Furthermore a species proclivity to remain in its ecological niche see phylogenetic niche conservatism through changing environmental conditions may also play a role in isolating populations from one another driving the evolution of new lineages 7 8 Allopatric speciation can be represented as the extreme on a gene flow continuum As such the level of gene flow between populations in allopatry would be m 0 displaystyle m 0 nbsp where m displaystyle m nbsp equals the rate of gene exchange In sympatry m 0 5 displaystyle m 0 5 nbsp panmixis while in parapatric speciation 0 lt m lt 0 5 displaystyle 0 lt m lt 0 5 nbsp represents the entire continuum 9 although some scientists argue 2 10 that a classification scheme based solely on geographic mode does not necessarily reflect the complexity of speciation 11 Allopatry is often regarded as the default or null model of speciation 2 12 but this too is debated 13 Reproductive isolation edit Main article Reproductive isolation Reproductive isolation acts as the primary mechanism driving genetic divergence in allopatry 14 and can be amplified by divergent selection 15 Pre zygotic and post zygotic isolation are often the most cited mechanisms for allopatric speciation and as such it is difficult to determine which form evolved first in an allopatric speciation event 14 Pre zygotic simply implies the presence of a barrier prior to any act of fertilization such as an environmental barrier dividing two populations while post zygotic implies the prevention of successful inter population crossing after fertilization such as the production of an infertile hybrid Since species pairs who diverged in allopatry often exhibit pre and post zygotic isolation mechanisms investigation of the earliest stages in the life cycle of the species can indicate whether or not divergence occurred due to a pre zygotic or post zygotic factor However establishing the specific mechanism may not be accurate as a species pair continually diverges over time For example if a plant experiences a chromosome duplication event reproduction will occur but sterile hybrids will result functioning as a form of post zygotic isolation Subsequently the newly formed species pair may experience pre zygotic barriers to reproduction as selection acting on each species independently will ultimately lead to genetic changes making hybrids impossible From the researcher s perspective the current isolating mechanism may not reflect the past isolating mechanism 14 Reinforcement edit Main article Reinforcement speciation nbsp In allopatric speciation a species population becomes separated by a geographic barrier whereby reproductive isolation evolves producing two separate species From this if a recently separated population comes in contact again low fitness hybrids may form but reinforcement acts to complete the speciation process Reinforcement has been a contentious factor in speciation 16 It is more often invoked in sympatric speciation studies as it requires gene flow between two populations However reinforcement may also play a role in allopatric speciation whereby the reproductive barrier is removed reuniting the two previously isolated populations Upon secondary contact individuals reproduce creating low fitness hybrids 17 Traits of the hybrids drive individuals to discriminate in mate choice by which pre zygotic isolation increases between the populations 11 Some arguments have been put forth that suggest the hybrids themselves can possibly become their own species 18 known as hybrid speciation Reinforcement can play a role in all geographic modes and other non geographic modes of speciation as long as gene flow is present and viable hybrids can be formed The production of inviable hybrids is a form of reproductive character displacement under which most definitions is the completion of a speciation event 11 Research has well established the fact that interspecific mate discrimination occurs to a greater extent between sympatric populations than it does in purely allopatric populations however other factors have been proposed to account for the observed patterns 19 Reinforcement in allopatry has been shown to occur in nature evidence for speciation by reinforcement albeit with less frequency than a classic allopatric speciation event 14 A major difficulty arises when interpreting reinforcement s role in allopatric speciation as current phylogenetic patterns may suggest past gene flow This masks possible initial divergence in allopatry and can indicate a mixed mode speciation event exhibiting both allopatric and sympatric speciation processes 13 Mathematical models edit Developed in the context of the genetic basis of reproductive isolation mathematical scenarios model both prezygotic and postzygotic isolation with respect to the effects of genetic drift selection sexual selection or various combinations of the three Masatoshi Nei and colleagues were the first to develop a neutral stochastic model of speciation by genetic drift alone Both selection and drift can lead to postzygotic isolation supporting the fact that two geographically separated populations can evolve reproductive isolation 1 87 sometimes occurring rapidly 20 Fisherian sexual selection can also lead to reproductive isolation if there are minor variations in selective pressures such as predation risks or habitat differences among each population 21 See the Further reading section below Mathematical models concerning reproductive isolation by distance have shown that populations can experience increasing reproductive isolation that correlates directly with physical geographical distance 22 23 This has been exemplified in models of ring species 11 however it has been argued that ring species are a special case representing reproductive isolation by distance and demonstrate parapatric speciation instead 1 102 as parapatric speciation represents speciation occurring along a cline Other models editVarious alternative models have been developed concerning allopatric speciation Special cases of vicariant speciation have been studied in great detail one of which is peripatric speciation whereby a small subset of a species population becomes isolated geographically and centrifugal speciation an alternative model of peripatric speciation concerning expansion and contraction of a species range 4 Other minor allopatric models have also been developed are discussed below Peripatric edit nbsp In peripatric speciation a small isolated population on the periphery of a central population evolves reproductive isolation due to the reduction or elimination of gene flow between the two Main article Peripatric speciation Peripatric speciation is a mode of speciation in which a new species is formed from an isolated peripheral population 1 105 If a small population of a species becomes isolated e g a population of birds on an oceanic island selection can act on the population independent of the parent population Given both geographic separation and enough time speciation can result as a byproduct 14 It can be distinguished from allopatric speciation by three important features 1 the size of the isolated population 2 the strong selection imposed by the dispersal and colonization into novel environments and 3 the potential effects of genetic drift on small populations 1 105 However it can often be difficult for researchers to determine if peripatric speciation occurred as vicariant explanations can be invoked due to the fact that both models posit the absence of gene flow between the populations 24 The size of the isolated population is important because individuals colonizing a new habitat likely contain only a small sample of the genetic variation of the original population This promotes divergence due to strong selective pressures leading to the rapid fixation of an allele within the descendant population This gives rise to the potential for genetic incompatibilities to evolve These incompatibilities cause reproductive isolation giving rise to rapid speciation events 1 105 106 Models of peripatry are supported mostly by species distribution patterns in nature Oceanic islands and archipelagos provide the strongest empirical evidence that peripatric speciation occurs 1 106 110 Centrifugal edit Centrifugal speciation is a variant alternative model of peripatric speciation This model contrasts with peripatric speciation by virtue of the origin of the genetic novelty that leads to reproductive isolation 25 When a population of a species experiences a period of geographic range expansion and contraction it may leave small fragmented peripherally isolated populations behind These isolated populations will contain samples of the genetic variation from the larger parent population This variation leads to a higher likelihood of ecological niche specialization and the evolution of reproductive isolation 4 26 Centrifugal speciation has been largely ignored in the scientific literature 27 25 28 Nevertheless a wealth of evidence has been put forth by researchers in support of the model much of which has not yet been refuted 4 One example is the possible center of origin in the Indo West Pacific 27 Microallopatric edit nbsp A female cobalt blue zebra cichlidMicroallopatry refers to allopatric speciation occurring on a small geographic scale 29 Examples of microallopatric speciation in nature have been described Rico and Turner found intralacustrine allopatric divergence of Pseudotropheus callainos Maylandia callainos within Lake Malawi separated only by 35 meters 30 Gustave Paulay found evidence that species in the subfamily Cryptorhynchinae have microallopatrically speciated on Rapa and its surrounding islets 31 A sympatrically distributed triplet of diving beetle Paroster species living in aquifers of Australia s Yilgarn region have likely speciated microallopatrically within a 3 5 km2 area 32 The term was originally proposed by Hobart M Smith to describe a level of geographic resolution A sympatric population may exist in low resolution whereas viewed with a higher resolution i e on a small localized scale within the population it is microallopatric 33 Ben Fitzpatrick and colleagues contend that this original definition is misleading because it confuses geographical and ecological concepts 29 Modes with secondary contact edit See also Ecological speciation Ecological speciation can occur allopatrically sympatrically or parapatrically the only requirement being that it occurs as a result of adaptation to different ecological or micro ecological conditions 34 Ecological allopatry is a reverse ordered form of allopatric speciation in conjunction with reinforcement 13 First divergent selection separates a non allopatric population emerging from pre zygotic barriers from which genetic differences evolve due to the obstruction of complete gene flow 35 The terms allo parapatric and allo sympatric have been used to describe speciation scenarios where divergence occurs in allopatry but speciation occurs only upon secondary contact 1 112 These are effectively models of reinforcement 36 or mixed mode speciation events 13 Observational evidence editSee also Peripatric speciation Evidence nbsp South America s areas of endemism separated largely by major rivers nbsp A cladogram of species in the Charis cleonus group superimposed over a map of South America showing the biogeographic ranges or each species As allopatric speciation is widely accepted as a common mode of speciation the scientific literature is abundant with studies documenting its existence The biologist Ernst Mayr was the first to summarize the contemporary literature of the time in 1942 and 1963 1 91 Many of the examples he set forth remain conclusive however modern research supports geographic speciation with molecular phylogenetics 37 adding a level of robustness unavailable to early researchers 1 91 The most recent thorough treatment of allopatric speciation and speciation research in general is Jerry Coyne and H Allen Orr s 2004 publication Speciation They list six mainstream arguments that lend support to the concept of vicariant speciation Closely related species pairs more often than not reside in geographic ranges adjacent to one another separated by a geographic or climatic barrier Young species pairs or sister species often occur in allopatry even without a known barrier In occurrences where several pairs of related species share a range they are distributed in abutting patterns with borders exhibiting zones of hybridization In regions where geographic isolation is doubtful species do not exhibit sister pairs Correlation of genetic differences between an array of distantly related species that correspond to known current or historical geographic barriers Measures of reproductive isolation increase with the greater geographic distance of separation between two species pairs This has been often referred to as reproductive isolation by distance 11 Endemism edit See also Insular biogeography and Elevational diversity gradient Allopatric speciation has resulted in many of the biogeographic and biodiversity patterns found on Earth on islands 38 continents 39 and even among mountains 40 Islands are often home to species endemics existing only on an island and nowhere else in the world with nearly all taxa residing on isolated islands sharing common ancestry with a species on the nearest continent 41 Not without challenge there is typically a correlation between island endemics and diversity 42 that is that the greater the diversity species richness of an island the greater the increase in endemism 43 Increased diversity effectively drives speciation 44 Furthermore the number of endemics on an island is directly correlated with the relative isolation of the island and its area 45 In some cases speciation on islands has occurred rapidly 46 Dispersal and in situ speciation are the agents that explain the origins of the organisms in Hawaii 47 Various geographic modes of speciation have been studied extensively in Hawaiian biota and in particular angiosperms appear to have speciated predominately in allopatric and parapatric modes 47 Islands are not the only geographic locations that have endemic species South America has been studied extensively with its areas of endemism representing assemblages of allopatrically distributed species groups Charis butterflies are a primary example confined to specific regions corresponding to phylogenies of other species of butterflies amphibians birds marsupials primates reptiles and rodents 48 The pattern indicates repeated vicariant speciation events among these groups 48 It is thought that rivers may play a role as the geographic barriers to Charis 1 97 not unlike the river barrier hypothesis used to explain the high rates of diversity in the Amazon basin though this hypothesis has been disputed 49 50 Dispersal mediated allopatric speciation is also thought to be a significant driver of diversification throughout the Neotropics 51 nbsp Allopatric speciation can result from mountain topography Climatic changes can drive species into altitudinal zones either valleys or peaks Colored regions indicate distributions As distributions are modified due to the change in suitable habitats reproductive isolation can drive the formation of a new species Patterns of increased endemism at higher elevations on both islands and continents have been documented on a global level 40 As topographical elevation increases species become isolated from one another 52 often constricted to graded zones 40 This isolation on mountain top islands creates barriers to gene flow encouraging allopatric speciation and generating the formation of endemic species 40 Mountain building orogeny is directly correlated with and directly affects biodiversity 53 54 The formation of the Himalayan mountains and the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau for example have driven the speciation and diversification of numerous plants and animals 55 such as Lepisorus ferns 56 glyptosternoid fishes Sisoridae 57 and the Rana chensinensis species complex 58 Uplift has also driven vicariant speciation in Macowania daisies in South Africa s Drakensberg mountains 59 along with Dendrocincla woodcreepers in the South American Andes 60 The Laramide orogeny during the Late Cretaceous even caused vicariant speciation and radiations of dinosaurs in North America 61 Adaptive radiation like the Galapagos finches observed by Charles Darwin is often a consequence of rapid allopatric speciation among populations However in the case of the finches of the Galapagos among other island radiations such as the honeycreepers of Hawaii represent cases of limited geographic separation and were likely driven by ecological speciation Isthmus of Panama edit nbsp A conceptual representation of species populations becoming isolated blue and green by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama red circle With the closure North and South America became connected allowing the exchange of species purple Grey arrows indicate the gradual movement of tectonic plates that resulted in the closure Geological evidence supports the final closure of the isthmus of Panama approximately 2 7 to 3 5 mya 62 with some evidence suggesting an earlier transient bridge existing between 13 and 15 mya 63 Recent evidence increasingly points towards an older and more complex emergence of the Isthmus with fossil and extant species dispersal part of the American biotic interchange occurring in three major pulses to and from North and South America 64 Further the changes in terrestrial biotic distributions of both continents such as with Eciton army ants supports an earlier bridge or a series of bridges 65 66 Regardless of the exact timing of the isthmus closer biologists can study the species on the Pacific and Caribbean sides in what has been called one of the greatest natural experiments in evolution 62 Additionally as with most geologic events the closure was unlikely to have occurred rapidly but instead dynamically a gradual shallowing of sea water over millions of years 1 93 Studies of snapping shrimp in the genus Alpheus have provided direct evidence of an allopatric speciation event 67 as phylogenetic reconstructions support the relationships of 15 pairs of sister species of Alpheus each pair divided across the isthmus 62 and molecular clock dating supports their separation between 3 and 15 million years ago 68 Recently diverged species live in shallow mangrove waters 68 while older diverged species live in deeper water correlating with a gradual closure of the isthmus 1 93 Support for an allopatric divergence also comes from laboratory experiments on the species pairs showing nearly complete reproductive isolation 1 93 Similar patterns of relatedness and distribution across the Pacific and Atlantic sides have been found in other species pairs such as 69 Diadema antillarum and Diadema mexicanum Echinometra lucunter and Echinometra vanbrunti Echinometra viridis and E vanbrunti Bathygobius soporator and Bathygobius ramosus B soporator and Bathygobius andrei Excirolana braziliensis and variant morphsRefugia edit Ice ages have played important roles in facilitating speciation among vertebrate species 70 This concept of refugia has been applied to numerous groups of species and their biogeographic distributions 1 97 Glaciation and subsequent retreat caused speciation in many boreal forest birds 70 such as with North American sapsuckers Yellow bellied Red naped and Red breasted the warblers in the genus Setophaga S townsendii S occidentalis and S virens Oreothlypis O virginiae O ridgwayi and O ruficapilla and Oporornis O tolmiei and O philadelphia now classified in the genus Geothlypis Fox sparrows sub species P i unalaschensis P i megarhyncha and P i schistacea Vireo V plumbeus V cassinii and V solitarius tyrant flycatchers E occidentalis and E difficilis chickadees P rufescens and P hudsonicus and thrushes C bicknelli and C minimus 70 As a special case of allopatric speciation peripatric speciation is often invoked for instances of isolation in glaciation refugia as small populations become isolated due to habitat fragmentation such as with North American red Picea rubens and black Picea mariana spruce 71 or the prairie dogs Cynomys mexicanus and C ludovicianus 72 Superspecies edit nbsp The red shading indicates the range of the bonobo Pan paniscus The blue shading indicates the range of the Common chimpanzee Pan troglodytes This is an example of allopatric speciation because they are divided by a natural barrier the Congo River and have no habitat in common Other Pan subspecies are shown as well Numerous species pairs or species groups show abutting distribution patterns that is reside in geographically distinct regions next to each other They often share borders many of which contain hybrid zones Some examples of abutting species and superspecies an informal rank referring to a complex of closely related allopatrically distributed species also called allospecies 73 include Western and Eastern meadowlarks in North America reside in dry western and wet eastern geographic regions with rare occurrences of hybridization most of which results in infertile offspring 41 Monarch flycatchers endemic to the Solomon Islands a complex of several species and subspecies Bougainville white capped and chestnut bellied monarchs and their related subspecies 41 North American sapsuckers and members of the genus Setophaga the hermit warbler black throated green warbler and Townsend s warbler 41 70 Sixty six subspecies in the genus Pachycephala residing on the Melanesian islands 41 74 Bonobos and chimpanzees Climacteris tree creeper birds in Australia 75 Birds of paradise in the mountains of New Guinea genus Astrapia 75 Red shafted and yellow shafted flickers black headed grosbeaks and rose breasted grosbeaks Baltimore orioles and Bullock s orioles and the lazuli and indigo buntings 76 All of these species pairs connect at zones of hybridization that correspond with major geographic barriers 1 97 99 Dugesia flatworms in Europe Asia and the Mediterranean regions 75 Dichromatic toucanets of the genus Selenidera may be a superspecies that arose by the refugia hypothesis in the Amazon basin 77 In birds some areas are prone to high rates of superspecies formation such as the 105 superspecies in Melanesia comprising 66 percent of all bird species in the region 78 Patagonia is home to 17 superspecies of forest birds 79 while North America has 127 superspecies of both land and freshwater birds 80 Sub Saharan Africa has 486 passerine birds grouped into 169 superspecies 81 Australia has numerous bird superspecies as well with 34 percent of all bird species grouped into superspecies 41 Laboratory evidence editSee also Laboratory experiments of speciation nbsp A simplification of an experiment where two vicariant lines of fruit flies were raised on harsh maltose and starch mediums respectively The experiment was replicated with 8 populations 4 with maltose and 4 with starch Differences in adaptations were found for each population corresponding to the different mediums 82 Later investigation found that the populations evolved behavioral isolation as a pleiotropic by product from this adaptive divergence 83 This form of pre zygotic isolation is a prerequisite for speciation to occur Experiments on allopatric speciation are often complex and do not simply divide a species population into two This is due to a host of defining parameters measuring reproductive isolation sample sizes the number of matings conducted in reproductive isolation tests bottlenecks length of experiments number of generations allowed 84 or insufficient genetic diversity 85 Various isolation indices have been developed to measure reproductive isolation and are often employed in laboratory speciation studies such as here index Y displaystyle Y nbsp 86 and index I displaystyle I nbsp 87 Y A D B C 1 A D B C 1 displaystyle Y sqrt AD BC 1 over sqrt AD BC 1 nbsp I A D B C A D B C displaystyle I A D B C over A D B C nbsp Here A displaystyle A nbsp and D displaystyle D nbsp represent the number of matings in heterogameticity where B displaystyle B nbsp and C displaystyle C nbsp represent homogametic matings A displaystyle A nbsp and B displaystyle B nbsp is one population and D displaystyle D nbsp and C displaystyle C nbsp is the second population A negative value of Y displaystyle Y nbsp denotes negative assortive mating a positive value denotes positive assortive mating i e expressing reproductive isolation and a null value of zero means the populations are experiencing random mating 84 The experimental evidence has solidly established the fact that reproductive isolation evolves as a by product of selection 15 1 90 Reproductive isolation has been shown to arise from pleiotropy i e indirect selection acting on genes that code for more than one trait what has been referred to as genetic hitchhiking 15 Limitations and controversies exist relating to whether laboratory experiments can accurately reflect the long scale process of allopatric speciation that occurs in nature Experiments often fall beneath 100 generations far less than expected as rates of speciation in nature are thought to be much larger 1 87 Furthermore rates specifically concerning the evolution of reproductive isolation in Drosophila are significantly higher than what is practiced in laboratory settings 88 Using index Y presented previously a survey of 25 allopatric speciation experiments included in the table below found that reproductive isolation was not as strong as typically maintained and that laboratory environments have not been well suited for modeling allopatric speciation 84 Nevertheless numerous experiments have shown pre zygotic and post zygotic isolation in vicariance some in less than 100 generations 1 87 Below is a non exhaustive table of the laboratory experiments conducted on allopatric speciation The first column indicates the species used in the referenced study where the Trait column refers to the specific characteristic selected for or against in that species The Generations column refers to the number of generations in each experiment performed If more than one experiment was formed generations are separated by semicolons or dashes given as a range Some studies provide a duration in which the experiment was conducted The Selection type column indicates if the study modeled vicariant or peripatric speciation this may not be explicitly Direct selection refers to selection imposed to promote reproductive isolation whereas indirect selection implies isolation occurring as a pleiotropic byproduct of natural selection whereas divergent selection implies deliberate selection of each allopatric population in opposite directions e g one line with more bristles and the other line with less Some studies performed experiments modeling or controlling for genetic drift Reproductive isolation occurred pre zygotically post zygotically both or not at all It is important to note that many of the studies conducted contain multiple experiments within a resolution of which this table does not reflect

typically reflected geographic distributions and were thus termed geographic semi geographic and non geographic 2 Geographic speciation corresponds to today s usage of the term allopatric speciation and in 1868 Moritz Wagner was the first to propose the concept 135 of which he used the term Separationstheorie 136 His idea was later interpreted by Ernst Mayr as a form of founder effect speciation as it focused primarily on small geographically isolated populations 136 Edward Bagnall Poulton an evolutionary biologist and a strong proponent of the importance of natural selection highlighted the role of geographic isolation in promoting speciation 11 in the process coining the term sympatric speciation in 1903 137 Controversy exists as to whether Charles Darwin recognized a true geographical based model of speciation in his publication of the Origin of Species 136 In chapter 11 Geographical Distribution Darwin discusses geographic barriers to migration stating for example that barriers of any kind or obstacles to free migration are related in a close and important manner to the differences between the productions of various regions of the world 138 F J Sulloway contends that Darwin s position on speciation was misleading at the least 139 and may have later misinformed Wagner and David Starr Jordan into believing that Darwin viewed sympatric speciation as the most important mode of speciation 1 83 Nevertheless Darwin never fully accepted Wagner s concept of geographical speciation 136 nbsp Ernst Mayr in 1994David Starr Jordan played a significant role in promoting allopatric speciation in the early 20th century providing a wealth of evidence from nature to support the theory 1 86 135 140 Much later the biologist Ernst Mayr was the first to encapsulate the then contemporary literature in his 1942 publication Systematics and the Origin of Species from the Viewpoint of a Zoologist and in his subsequent 1963 publication Animal Species and Evolution Like Jordan s works they relied on direct observations of nature documenting the occurrence of allopatric speciation of which is widely accepted today 1 83 84 Prior to this research Theodosius Dobzhansky published Genetics and the Origin of Species in 1937 where he formulated the genetic framework for how speciation could occur 1 2 Other scientists noted the existence of allopatrically distributed pairs of species in nature such as Joel Asaph Allen who coined the term Jordan s Law whereby closely related geographically isolated species are often found divided by a physical barrier 1 91 and Robert Greenleaf Leavitt 141 however it is thought that Wagner Karl Jordan and David Starr Jordan played a large role in the formation of allopatric speciation as an evolutionary concept 142 where Mayr and Dobzhansky contributed to the formation of the modern evolutionary synthesis The late 20th century saw the development of mathematical models of allopatric speciation leading to the clear theoretical plausibility that geographic isolation can result in the reproductive isolation of two populations 1 87 Since the 1940s allopatric speciation has been accepted 143 Today it is widely regarded as the most common form of speciation taking place in nature 1 84 However this is not without controversy as both parapatric and sympatric speciation are both considered tenable modes of speciation that occur in nature 143 Some researchers even consider there to be a bias in reporting of positive allopatric speciation events and in one study reviewing 73 speciation papers published in 2009 only 30 percent that suggested allopatric speciation as the primary explanation for the patterns observed considered other modes of speciation as possible 13 Contemporary research relies largely on multiple lines of evidence to determine the mode of a speciation event that is determining patterns of geographic distribution in conjunction with phylogenetic relatedness based on molecular techniques 1 123 124 This method was effectively introduced by John D Lynch in 1986 and numerous researchers have employed it and similar methods yielding enlightening results 144 Correlation of geographic distribution with phylogenetic data also spawned a sub field of biogeography called vicariance biogeography 1 92 developed by Joel Cracraft James Brown Mark V Lomolino among other biologists specializing in ecology and biogeography Similarly full analytical approaches have been proposed and applied to determine which speciation mode a species underwent in the past using various approaches or combinations thereof species level phylogenies range overlaps symmetry in range sizes between sister species pairs and species movements within geographic ranges 37 Molecular clock dating methods are also often employed to accurately gauge divergence times that reflect the fossil or geological record 1 93 such as with the snapping shrimp separated by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama 68 or speciation events within the genus Cyclamen 145 Other techniques used today have employed measures of gene flow between populations 13 ecological niche modelling such as in the case of the Myrtle and Audubon s warblers 146 or the environmentally mediated speciation taking place among dendrobatid frogs in Ecuador 144 and statistical testing of monophyletic groups 147 Biotechnological advances have allowed for large scale multi locus genome comparisons such as with the possible allopatric speciation event that occurred between ancestral humans and chimpanzees 148 linking species evolutionary history with ecology and clarifying phylogenetic patterns 149 References edit a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag Coyne Jerry A Orr H Allen 2004
