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 ...

Studies of reproductive isolation have shown that the number of genes that are involved is often large. Between closely related species of Drosophila, the number of such genes might often be in the ...

If one accepts some version of the biological species concept, the central problem of speciation is the origin of isolating barriers that prevent actual or potential gene flow among populations (Coyne ...

A team of researchers has provided the first example of how color patterns on a coral reef fish species can drive its evolution into many distinct species. The researchers looked at feeding and mating ...
