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 ...

Having at least briefly considered the problems of phylogenetics and systematics using genetic markers, we will turn to speciation. This is one of the fundamental problems of evolutionary biology -- ...

As long as the individuals in a population have the opportunity to interbreed and combine genes, they remain one species. A population of one species can only evolve into more than one species if ...

But according to a study published this week in Nature, new species can arise arbitrarily and without provocation, challenging the widely held notion that physical isolation and selection are the ...
