Arecently published phylogeny of Hawaiian cricket species adds to the ongoing debate about the importance of sexual selection in speciation. The phylogeny implies that the genus has speciated faster ...

‘Hybrid speciation’ implies that hybridization has had a principal role in the origin of a new species. The definition applies cleanly to hybrid species that have doubled their chromosome number ...

Corrales, a recent biological sciences Ph.D. graduate from the University of Rhode Island, and his advisor, Associate ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has provided the first example of how color patterns on a coral reef fish species can drive its evolution into many distinct species. The researchers looked at feeding and mating ...

It has long been thought that dramatic changes in a landscape like the formation of the Andes Mountain range or the Amazon River is the main driver that initiates species to diverge. However, a recent ...
