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 ...

In populations of phytophagous insects that use the host plant as a rendezvous for mating, divergence in host preference could lead to sympatric speciation. Speciation requires the elimination of ...

Three models for sympatric and alleged sympatric speciation are known in evolutionary research. The first model, the most "pure form" of sympatric speciation, describes the development of two species ...

We examined causes of speciation in asexual populations in both sympatry and parapatry, providing an alternative explanation for the speciation patterns reported by Dieckmann and Doebeli (1999) and ...

Butterfly wing patterns are attractive, not just to artists, writers and naturalists, but also to other butterflies. In fact, they play an important role in signalling between potential butterfly ...

Male pregnancy in seahorses may do more than reverse traditional gender roles. It could also influence the way new species form from single populations of these ancient creatures. Male pregnancy in ...

A new study conducted by scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), Mumbai published in NPJ Systems Biology and Applications, has shed light on the process of speciation, ...
