New research reveals how new species are born in nature!
The article "THE BIOLOGY OF SPECIATION" explores how new species evolve. Researchers from Michigan State University studied the process of speciation in plants. They found that different factors, such as genetic changes and natural selection, play a role in the formation of new species. By analyzing plant populations, the researchers discovered that isolation and adaptation are key mechanisms driving speciation. Their findings shed light on the biological processes that lead to the diversity of life on Earth.
