Speciation is the evolutionary process by which populations of organisms diverge into distinct species. It is a central concept in evolutionary biology, explaining the diversity of life on Earth. Speciation occurs when genetic differences accumulate within populations, eventually leading to reproductive isolation—meaning members of one group can no longer interbreed successfully with members of another. […]

A species is the fundamental unit of biological classification, representing a group of organisms that share common characteristics and, under natural conditions, are capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring. The concept of species lies at the core of taxonomy, evolutionary biology, ecology, and conservation science. Although the term appears straightforward, defining what constitutes a
