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 has long been thought that dramatic changes in a landscape like the formation of the Andes Mountain range or the Amazon River is the main driver that initiates species to diverge. However, a recent ...

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 evolution of a new species can occur rapidly enough for them to observe the process in a simple laboratory flask, biologists have discovered. In a month-long experiment using a virus harmless to ...

Evidence is presented to indicate that catastrophic selection in ecologically marginal populations has had a prominent role in speciation in the genus Clarkia. The following observations compellingly ...

Despite their small size, organisms smaller than a thousandth of a meter (1 mm) contribute greatly to biodiversity and ecosystem function. Unfortunately, categorizing small organisms—even defining ...

The modes of speciation that are thought to have contributed most to the generation of biodiversity require population differentiation as the initial stage in the speciation process. Consequently, a ...
