2 Main Types of Speciation | Evolution | Biology

Speciation is the method of formation of new species. A species can be defined as one or more populations of interbreeding organisms that are reproductively isolated in nature from all other organisms. As natural selection adapts populations occupying different environments, they will diverge into races, subspecies, and finally separate species. When populations no longer interbreed, they are thought to be [...]

Categories of Speciation (With Diagram) | Ecology

This article throws light upon the four main categories of Speciation. The categories are: 1. Allopatric Speciation 2. Parapatric Speciation 3. Sympatric Speciation 4. Alloparapatric Speciation. Category # 1. Allopatric Speciation: Allopatric speciation occurs when the new species evolves in geo­graphic isolation from the parent species. The species range, becomes subdivided by a bar­rier such as a new mountain range [...]
