The process of speciation allows a single species to diverge into two. Dive into the different versions of this process, including “allopatric speciation” and “sympatric speciation,” and discover how ...

The spectacular radiation of 2,000 species of cichlid fishes in East Africa is an ideal model system and natural laboratory for studying evolutionary processes. The explosive speciation of cichlids is ...

It’s not every day that you get to see evolution happen before your eyes. Scratch that, until very recently, it wasn’t any day, since the process of speciation — in which one species splits into two ...

It's hard to mate with something you can't see, at least for certain African fish. That's the key message of a paper that appears in today's issue of Nature. This may seem like an obvious statement, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Among the most debated subjects in speciation is the question of its mode. Although allopatric (geographical) speciation is assumed the null ...

An attractive scent is just as important as good looks when it comes to choosing a mate -- at least among stick insect populations. An attractive scent is just as important as good looks when it comes ...

Aim: Regional patterns of forest composition in West Polynesia were analysed to determine the relative importance of dispersal limitation, speciation, environmental filtering and biotic interactions.

A species is a distinct group of organisms and the most basic unit used to measure life on Earth. However, there’s no single definition of a species, meaning this vital concept in biology can be ...
