How do new species form? Like most areas of Evolutionary Biology, research related to the formation of new species - 'speciation ' - is rich in historical and current debate. Here, we review both ...

Speciation is the process by which a single species gives rise to two daughter species, which are genetically distinct and eventually unable to interbreed. Speciation can occur as a result of ...

The biological equivalent is "allopatric speciation," an evolutionary process in which one species divides into two because the original homogenous population has become separated and both groups ...

Behavioral and phenotypic traits are thought to play a key role early in speciation by influencing where and when individuals come into contact and whether closely related organisms are recognized as ...
