P nd Q are frequency of alleles

Competition harms both species

Also include predation, commensalism

Will increase ocean levels

Will alter environments and ecosystems

Caused by higher greenhouse gas levels

Speciation

Can occur by polyploidy

Usually occurs gradually

Allopatric or Sympatric

Inbreeding

Detrimental to Species

Creates inbreeding depression

Reduces genetic variation
