‣ Individuals within a species are variable and there is usually no “ideal” or “typical” individual.

Species concepts

‣ The category species is defined according to a species concept

biological A species is a group of interbreeding natural populations that is reproductively isolated species concept from other such groups (Mayr 1963).

cohesion A species is the most inclusive populations of individuals having the potential for species concept phenotypic cohesion through intrinsic cohesion mechanisms (Templeton 1989).

ecological A species is a lineages (or a closely related sets of lineages), which occupies an adaptive zone minimally different from that of any other lineage in range and which evolve species concept separately from all lineages outside its range (Van Valen 1976).

evolutionary A species is a single lineage of ancestral-descendant lineages that evolve separately from other such lineages and have their own evolutionary tendencies and historical fate species concept (Simpson 1961; Wiley 1978).

phylogenetic A species is the smallest monophyletic group of common ancestry (de Querioz & Donoghue 1988). A phylogenetic species is a basal cluster of organisms that is diagnosably distinct species concepts from other such clusters (Cracraft 1989)

Coyne & Orr (2004); Zachos 2016 Biological species concept

‣ Members of a species share a gene pool; selection and drift operate within species.

!Evolutionary biologists interpret species as independent evolutionary units

Biological species concept

‣ A species is a group of interbreeding natural populations that is reproductively isolated from other such groups (Mayr 1963).

Natural selection

‣ ... is the process by which the forms of organisms in a population that are best adapted to the environment increase in frequency relative to less well-adapted forms over a number of generations (Ridley 2004)

images: www.idscaro.net, www.wikipedia.com Sexual selection

‣ … is the selection on mating behavior, either through: competition among members of one sex (usually males) for access to members of the other sex or through choice by members of one sex (usually females) for certain members of the other sex (Ridley 1996) www.smh.com.au , www.crbs.umd.edu images: images:

Natural selection Sexual selection

‣ Both natural and sexual selection operate if the following conditions are met:

reproduction organisms must reproduce to form new generations

heredity offspring resemble parents (“like must produce like”)

trait variation individuals in natural populations vary in (adaptive) traits

individuals in natural populations vary in the number of their variation in fitness offspring that survive to reproduce (‘lifetime reproductive success’) Natural selection Sexual selection

‣ There are fundamental difference between natural and sexual selection:

fitness competitors

sexual selection individual fitness other members of the same sex

natural selection fitness of the genotype other individuals in the same population

Natural variation

‣ Natural populations show variation at all levels, from gross morphology to DNA sequences. Selection can only operate, if heritable variation exists.

‣ Heritable natural variation is generated by two processes, mutation and recombination.

‣ New mutations are only transmitted to the next generation, if they occur in germinal tissue.

‣ The rate of non-synonymous (dN) to synonymous (dS) substitution informs about the selective pressure that has acted on a protein coding gene:

dN/dS << 1: purifying selection

dN/dS = 1: neutrality
