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 ...

Theoretical studies indicate that while sympatric speciation is possible, the necessary conditions are considerably more stringent than for speciation in allopatry. Sympatric speciation encounters two ...

Contrary to what many people think, two species can hybridize naturally in the wild to give rise to a third species, a finding that fundamentally alters our understanding of the evolution of species ...
