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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Species of Isoetes are notorious for the difficulties they present in identification. These difficulties are attributable to a series of habitat adaptations that have resulted in morphological ...

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 ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — If Lake Michigan were a beer, what would it taste like? The answer lies inside Speciation Artisan Ales’ new Grand Rapids taproom. Speciation Cellars at 928 Wealthy St. SE ...

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 ...

"A new species develops if a population which has become geographically isolated from its parental species acquires during this period of isolation characters which promote or guarantee reproductive ...
