In biology, parallel speciation is a type of speciation where there is repeated evolution of reproductively isolating traits via the same mechanisms occurring...

is a minor or major contributor to speciation is the subject of much ongoing discussion. Rapid sympatric speciation can take place through polyploidy,...

explains the derivation. Sympatric speciation is one of three traditional geographic modes of speciation. Allopatric speciation is the evolution of species caused...

Allopatric speciation (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος (állos) 'other' and πατρίς (patrís) 'fatherland') – also referred to as geographic speciation, vicariant...

Ecological speciation is a form of speciation arising from reproductive isolation that occurs due to an ecological factor that reduces or eliminates gene...

Hybrid speciation is a form of speciation where hybridization between two different species leads to a new species, reproductively isolated from the parent...

Peripatric speciation is a mode of speciation in which a new species is formed from an isolated peripheral population.: 105  Since peripatric speciation resembles...

"stepping-stone" (discrete populations), and stasipatric speciation in concordance with most of the parapatric speciation literature.: 111  Henceforth, the models are...

process of speciation. This process of speciation influenced by natural selection is reinforcement, and can happen under any mode of speciation: 355  (e...

Parallel evolution is the similar development of a trait in distinct species that are not closely related, but share a similar original trait in response...
