Speciation Presentation: TEMPORAL ISOLATION
You and your partner will present a PowerPoint Presentation (or some other
presentation software) about a speciation event. Your presentation should include:
Your reproductive barrier is Temporal Isolation
1. Describe and identify the possible Initial single ancestor
a. Explain how this organism is adapted to it environment (e.g mating
rituals, food, shelter, predators)
2. Describe the reproductive barrier that separated a population into two or
more populations
3. Describe how the new populations acquired of novel adaptive traits
a. Explain different selective pressures between the two populations.
b. Give examples phenotypic diversification.
c. Explain how this is an example of divergent evolution.
4. Describe the possible pace/ rate of your adaptive radiation event. Explain
why you think it followed one of the below paces.
a. Punctuated equilibrium idea
b. Gradualism idea
