Practice problem
Why is the founder effect different from peripatric speciation?
Peripatric speciation concerns the divergence of species while the founder effect only involves the equilibrium of genes in a large population.
Peripatric speciation requires adaptation over time, while the founder effect simply reduces gene pool diversity.
Peripatric speciation only happens after a bottleneck effect, not a founder effect.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
