Concept introduction: Speciation occurs between reproductive barriers and between the isolated population and its parent population. Speciation is an evolutionary process by which the lineages split into new or distinct species. Reproductive isolation is achieved through the reproductive barriers that are the evolutionary mechanism or behaviors that prevent organism of different species from breeding.
To explain: The relationship between gene flow and speciation.
Concept introduction: Speciation is an evolutionary process by which the lineages split into new or distinct species.
To explain: The evolutionary factors that play in the process of speciation.
