Definition of sympatric in English:

sympatric

adjective sɪmˈpatrɪksimˈpatrik

1(of animals or plant species or populations) occurring within the same or overlapping geographical areas.
Compare with allopatric
Example sentencesExamples
- We assigned geographic areas using the distributions of allopatric and sympatric species as a guide: North America, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Greater Antilles.
- These two sympatric species are reproductively isolated and represent highly divergent lineages in the genus.
- Populations of sympatric species often fluctuate in partial synchrony.
- Symbols overlap where sampled populations are sympatric or geographically proximate.
- The occurrence of several crossable sympatric species from the genus Pinus in Asia has led to suggestions that some species arose as a result of hybridization.
1. 1.1 (of speciation) taking place without geographical separation.
  Example sentencesExamples
  In particular, Muller anticipated that the antagonistic relationship between selection and recombination would be critical in models of sympatric speciation.
  Indeed, sympatric speciation events have been observed in controlled experiments, under natural conditions, and also demonstrated by simulation models.
  Attention has focused on a number of problems, including reinforcement, sympatric speciation, and the ecological context of speciation.
  The concept of sympatric speciation by host-race formation remains contentious because of the restrictive conditions that many workers have suggested are required, based on models using assumptions that may not be true.
  They conclude that sympatric speciation is possible, but only when there is some kind of environmental heterogeneity that is sufficient to interfere with gene flow.

Derivatives

sympatry

noun

In addition, their definition of ‘superspecies’ makes exceptions for narrow sympatry, which obliterates the definition, because ‘allospecies’ should form the components of a superspecies.
Example sentencesExamples
- Although the two species were not found in sympatry, a population of P. elegans was found only 9 km away from a P. actinia population in Santo Antonio da Patrulha county.
- Conversely, if genetic exchange occurs between the two lineages in sympatry, interlineage populations should exhibit much less differentiation than should geographically distant NW populations.
- The demonstration of genetic distinctness, or genetic differentiation, between samples from natural populations, especially in areas of sympatry, is often used as a criterion to erect new species.
- As revealed by comparisons of molecular and morphologic data in modern species, non-hybrid populations form distinct morphologic clusters in sympatry, which do not overlap and are usually separated by gaps.

Origin

Early 20th century: from sym- 'with, together' + Greek patra 'fatherland' + -ic.
