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 ...

When two animals look the same, eat the same, behave the same way, and live in similar environments, one might expect that ...

I expect you to read: Avise, J.C. 2004. Chapter 7: Speciation and hybridization. In Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution (2nd edn.). Chapman and Hall, New York. Having at least briefly ...

What is unknown is whether such local ‘adaptations' are correlated with genetic differentiation, which is a necessary precursor to speciation. Future studies that incorporate ecological ...

Researchers have shown that an Amazonian butterfly is a hybrid species, formed by two other species breeding together almost 200,000 years ago.

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 ...

Explore how implicit biases shape human societies, backed by psychology and neuroscience research, to understand intergroup ...

Rather, speciation is more likely at the edge of a population, where a small group can easily become separated geographically from the main body and undergo changes that can create a survival ...

This book clarifies how adaptive processes, rather than geographic isolation, can cause speciation. Adaptive speciation occurs when biological interactions induce disruptive selection and the ...

Every cuckoo is an adopted child—raised by foster parents, into whose nest the cuckoo mother smuggled her egg. The cuckoo ...

A former president, Veterinary Council of Nigeria, Professor Gabriel Ogundipe, has underscored the need for speciation curriculum for veterinary education in Nigeria. Ogundipe disclosed this ...

This arrangement also allows KULR to extract and submit gas samples for third party gas speciation analysis. William Walker, KULR CTO, stated, “Thermal runaway testing in general is a challenge where ...
