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 ...

Researchers have shed new light on how the environment promotes the generation of new species. A study led by Dr. Benjamin Jarrett from Bangor University looked at what happens when two populations of ...

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 ...

AbstractThe evolution of reproductive isolation among populations is often the result of selective forces. Among those, parasites exert strong selection on host populations and can thus also ...

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 thesis from the University of Gothenburg examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same ...

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 ...
