pater-, patri-, patro-, patr-, -patria

The process through which new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region: "Sympatric speciation events are much more common in plants, as they tend to develop multiple homologous sets of chromosomes, resulting in a condition called polyploidy (having one or more extra sets of chromosomes)."

"The polyploidal offspring occupy the same environment as the parent plants; therefore, sympatry; but they are reproductively isolated while the speciation is taking place via populations with overlapping geographic ranges."

Translation: "I owe my allegiance to the country in which I prosper."

1. Where there is good (prosperity), there is my fatherland (country).
2. Wherever I prosper, there is my fatherland.

Where there is freedom (liberty), there is my fatherland (country).

Wherever there is bread, there is my country.

The motto, "Above all, I must eat," refers to people in desperate economic circumstances who are intent on fleeing their homeland to seek a better life.
