In this example you will read and look at a diagram of speciation in snapping shrimp.
PBS Allopatric Speciation Activity
Read the description and look at the enlarged version of the picture by looking at the larger image.
As you read the example and look at the picture summarize how the speciation occurred using the steps described in the notes and readings above. In this example we will add the third and final step to speciation.
Describe the population of Shrimp before speciation. Where did they live and how was it different than it is today? | |
Speciation Step #1: How was the species isolated? | |
Speciation Step #2: What caused changes in the now separated population? | |
Speciation Step #3: How did scientists know the snapping shrimp were now separate species? (Hint: review the definition of a species.) |
