In this lab, you will see the time progression of speciation to help you write up a scientific paper that centers on the following:
- What would happen if a species within a population were suddenly split into 2 groups by an earthquake creating a physical barrier like a canyon?
For this assignment, you are asked to answer this question.
- What would happen if a species within a population were suddenly split into 2 groups by an earthquake that creates a physical barrier like a canyon?
I would like you to consider the question this way instead to better focus the project:
- What would happen if a species of lizards were suddenly split into 2 groups by a hurricane, resulting in isolation a small group of individuals on an island far from the mainland?
