(Biyoloji) Farklı yurtlu türleşme
English - English
Not living in the same territory; geographically isolated and thus unable to crossbreed
(of biological species or speciation) occurring in areas isolated geographically from one another
occurring in different places; usually refers to geographical separation of populations (Ricklefs 1979: 865) The populations may exhibit divergence in behavior, morphology, or genetic composition
Allopatry Pertaining to populations or species that occupy exclusive geographical regions, i e they have ranges that do not overlap (cf sympatric, parapatric) (F)
Of populations or species occupying mutually exclusive, but usually adjacent, geographical areas
Species not occuring together in a geographical region Arboreal- Tree-dwelling Basking- Absorbing the radiant energy of a heat source, such as the sun
Having separate and mutually exclusive areas of geographical distribution
literally, "other country"; refers to distribution areas of different taxa that do not overlap

allopatric speciation
(Biyoloji) Allopatric speciation, also known as geographic speciation, is the phenomenon where huge biological populations are physically isolated by an extrinsic barrier and evolve intrinsic (genetic) reproductive isolation, such that if the barrier breaks down, individuals of the populations can no longer interbreed. Evolutionary biologists agree that allopatry is a common way that new species arise. By contrast, the frequency of other types of speciation, such as sympatric speciation, parapatric speciation, and heteropatric speciation), is debated

The condition of being allopatric

Occurring in different places; usually refers to geographical separation of species
allopatry
The geographical isolation of two or more populations or species Also, speciation that occurs in geographical isolation from the main population of the parent species It is thought to be the dominant mode of speciation A small population of the species is isolated long enough for genetic drift and natural selection to make it different enough in either reproductive behaviour or mechanisms so that if and when it rejoins the original species it is too distinct to interbreed There is debate in the evolutionary biological discipline as to whether different ecological behaviour and the adaptations needed to survive in them are the result of speciating selection, or follow from selection between the original species and the now reproductively distinct new species which have become that way through drift Most think that selection is relevant only after allopatric speciation, although recent work has revived the sympatric speciation model
allopatry
