Description: In parapatric speciation, populations in contact along a common border evolve into distinct species Hybrids in the contact zone are less fit than individuals on either side Example: Two species of velvet walking worm in Tasmania can interbreed, but they only do so in a tiny area where their habitats overlap – hybrid offspring are sterile Picture Stats: Views: 101 Filesize: 512.56kB Height: 663 Width: 2244 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=48554 Keywords: Parapatric Speciation |
