ANN ARBOR--A new University of Michigan study of interbreeding between two species of howler monkeys in Mexico is yielding insights into the forces that drive the evolution of new species. How do new ...

Speciation is the process by which new species forms and is the driving force of biodiversity. Since Darwin published On the Origin of Species, great efforts have been performed without interruption ...

What is ecological speciation? -- Predictions and tests of ecological speciation -- A source of divergent selection -- A form of reproductive isolation -- A genetic mechanism to link selection to ...

Speciation is important because it increases biodiversity. A thesis from the University of Gothenburg examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same ...

Reproductive isolation is a biological process that prevents gene flow between populations or species, thereby maintaining or promoting genetic divergence and speciation. It operates through ...

Mayr was well known for his championship of the biological species concept and for asserting a predominant role for the geographic separation of populations in the diversification process that gives ...

Speciation is important because it increases biodiversity. A new thesis examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same species might evolve into two ...

Hendry's team observed that male river sockeyes are slimmer than their lake counterparts (to better deal with the river's strong current), while the female river sockeye are larger than their beach ...
