Question
can the similarity in coloration between species from the same locations be explained through shared evolutionary history? why or why not? if not, what evolutionary explanation is there for the similarity between species found at the same location?
| Peruvian Poison Frogs The top row are frogs of the same species but that are found in different locations in Peru. All are Dendrobates Individuals from different populations of In the bottom row, each picture shows a different species that exists at the same location as the frog directly above it. (a) and (d) are found at Tarapoto, (b) and (e) are found at Huallaga Canyon, and (c and(f) are found at Yurimaguas. The scientific names of d-f are noted to the left and in the figure caption. ld) Dendrobates voriabilis e) Dendrabates f) Dendrobates Hudlaga Carryon: md .am.ken nerewsear. : Yuringini. D. reticulotus D. fantasticus Huallaga Canyon Yurimaguas Tarapoto D. variabilis This is a simplified cladogram relationships between six species of poison frogs, including the four species depicted above (indicated with an asterisk ). The three populations of D. imitator are indicated by name.Explanation / Answer
No the similarity in coloration between species from the same locations be explained through shared evolutionary history.
These similarties are basically due to adaptation and mimicary. And the mimicary type include in this is bateson one.
In bateson mimicry the one paleatable species shows similarty with other toxic one.
And this is due to the sharing of common location however their species id different.
Their toxicity is indicated by the their cryptic colouration.
