Hybrid speciation is quite rare in animals, but it does occur naturally. In this scenario, the resulting hybrid population is an independent new species that is reproductively isolated from both ...

People might be behind a speciation boom that cancels out the extinction crisis—but that’s not necessarily good news.

New evidence for homoploid hybrid speciation in animals is presented in the June 12, 2006 edition of the journal Nature. In a matter of months, butterflies sporting the yellow and red wing color ...

With that in mind, speciation is the process through which a “parent species” separates into two or more “progeny species.” It occurs when a group of organisms diverges from the other organisms of the ...

This view of speciation of geographically isolated populations — termed allopatric speciation — is still widely held among speciation biologists as playing a major role in the evolution of ...

Allopatric Speciation: It's a bit like a character in a movie going off and having adventures that change him so drastically that when he returns, the folks in his hometown no longer recognize the ...

Evolution: Speciation in the presence of gene flow Date: January 13, 2021 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Summary: Spatial isolation is known to promote speciation -- but ...

Mechanisms of Speciation New examples of sympatric speciation revive some nagging questions | By Leslie Pray "A new species develops if a population which has become geographically isolated from its ...

The tropics are, like many cities, hot, busy and crowded. It was previously thought 1 that these conditions in the tropics generate a hotbed for the formation of new species (speciation). Species ...

Punctuated Equilibrium: Charles Darwin understood that evolution was a slow and gradual process. By gradual, Darwin did not mean "perfectly smooth," but rather, "stepwise," with a species evolving ...
