The relative shortness of time they have been separated is the most important for explaining why there are equal numbers of snapping shrimp species on either side of the isthmus.

Speciation is the process of forming new species.

There are five main types of speciation:

  • Allopatric speciation
  • Sympatric speciation
  • Peripatric speciation
  • Parapatric speciation
  • Artificial speciation

Although allopatric speciation is the most common type of speciation, all five types are described in more detail in the following sections.

Allopatric speciation occurs when one population is physically separated by a geographic barrier and slowly evolves into two separate species. With separation into different environments comes different environmental pressures that shape natural selection, the survival of the most fit organisms in the environment. These different environments allow for different traits to be selected.

Over time, the selection can create entirely new species. For example, snapping shrimp are a group of shrimp that were separated by the Isthmus of Panama across the Caribbean Sea. Over time, the selective pressures were so different that the populations of shrimp evolved into different species.

Triss [41]

The formation of macromolecules from triose phosphate is likely anabolic and would be coupled to ATP -> ADP.

Anabolic is a group of metabolic pathways that builds compounds out of smaller building blocks. These reactions, which are often referred to as endergonic processes, demand energy. Catabolism is the breakdown component of metabolism, whereas anabolism is the building component. Typically, anabolism and biosynthesis go hand in hand. Anabolism can be seen in the growth of muscle mass and the mineralization and development of bones. Proteins are broken down into amino acids during catabolic events, as are glycogen and triglycerides into glucose and fatty acids, respectively. Fundamentally, catabolism entails disassembling complex molecules to produce energy that may be utilised by the organism. By building larger, more complex molecules from smaller, simpler ones, anabolism is the exact reverse of catabolism. The body typically stores them for later use.
