Gene flow would increase between the two halves, and speciation would not occur
A drastic reduction in producer organisms in a meadow environment would likely disrupt the food chain, leading to a decline in herbivore populations due to lack of food. This, in turn, would impact predator populations that rely on herbivores for food. Overall, it could result in a significant shift in the ecosystem's balance and biodiversity.
small populations where random events can have a significant impact on allele frequencies over time.
decreases genetic difference between two populations
A community is a group of two or more different species (populations) that are occupying the same geographical area.
Gene flow between two populations can increase genetic diversity by introducing new genetic variations. This can lead to a more robust gene pool and potentially enhance the adaptability of the populations. Additionally, gene flow can prevent genetic drift and reduce the chances of inbreeding, which can help maintain genetic diversity over time. In terms of evolutionary trajectory, gene flow can influence the direction and speed of evolution by introducing new alleles and promoting genetic exchange between populations.
Without knowing the specific scenario or event you are referring to, it is difficult to provide an accurate answer. However, in general, any changes or events that affect one population could have ripple effects on another population, depending on the nature of the impact. It's important to consider the interconnections and relationships between the two populations to understand the potential consequences.

The term 'speciation' does indeed refer to the 'formation' of new species. 'Formation' is probably better replaced with 'divergence' as in 'the divergence of two species from one'. A common ancestor of two species may have two of its populations isolated, so the two populations cannot interbreed. Genetic differences (via mutation) should build up in the two populations over time or indeed, simply the mixing of genes via meiosis within the two populations could follow different routes. The non-mixing of the two populations would ensure the non-homogenisation of the gene pool, ensuring a homogenisation of the morphology of the species back to the morphology of the common ancestor. Eventually, so much genetic difference should build up between the two populations that, be they removed from isolation or not, the two populations would no longer be able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Remove the ability of interbreeding and, within the Biological Species Concept, the two populations would have diverged into two separated species. Speciation would have occurred.
no because you dont die from asthma
A compound subject for impact would have to be two words that are subjects in the beginning of the sentence and the word impact would have to be in the sentence somewhere.
An increase in habitat destruction, such as deforestation or urbanization, would have the most significant impact on bluebird populations. This would result in loss of nesting sites and food sources, leading to a decline in their numbers.
Individuals could now freely mate, and gene flow would increase
There are many populations that would not likely have a normal distribution. Endangered species or unsocial animals would be such populations.
Two populations have evolved into two species when the populations can no longer interbreed.Are you answering a question from the Holt Science & Technology: Life Science textbook? Because these questions are my homework. :P
