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 ...

Vicariance is the emergence of geographic barriers to dispersal and gene flow, which spatially isolates populations and may lead to the formation of new species (i.e., allopatric speciation ...

How do new species form? Like most areas of Evolutionary Biology, research related to the formation of new species - 'speciation ' - is rich in historical and current debate. Here, we review both ...
