Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the …
Overview Speciation usually occurs over a long evolutionary time scale, during which the species may be isolated or continue to interact. If two emerging …
Speciation is the evolutionary process resulting in the formation of new, distinct species—groups of reproductively isolated populations. The …
Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may …
The Anopheles gambiae species complex includes the major malaria transmitting mosquitoes in Africa. Because these species are of such medical importance, …
The biological uptake of plutonium (Pu) in aquatic ecosystems is of particular concern since it is an alpha-particle emitter with long half-life which can …
Studying co-evolution of hydrological and biogeochemical processes in the subsurface of natural landscapes can enhance the understanding of coupled …
