The biological equivalent is "allopatric speciation," an evolutionary process in which one species divides into two because the original homogenous population has become separated and both groups ...

What is unknown is whether such local ‘adaptations' are correlated with genetic differentiation, which is a necessary precursor to speciation. Future studies that incorporate ecological ...

As long as the individuals in a population have the opportunity to interbreed and combine genes, they remain one species. A population of one species can only evolve into more than one species if ...

Charlotte Lindqvist is an evolutionary biologist. Her research uses genomics to understand speciation processes, polyploidy events and hybridization in both animals and plants. She is an expert on the ...
