1.In ring species, geographically close populations are genetically

a. Given what you know about population structure and speciation what would you predict about the dispersal of individuals within each population?

b. Can you think of a natural situation that might match this dispersal pattern? (hint: google “ring species” for some examples)

c. As described this represents one large species with many subpopulations, but how would that change if population #2 and #5 became extinct?

 1. In ring species, geographically close populations are genetically compatible and can mate with eachother, but geographically distant populations are incompatible. In the example below each...
