The tropics are, like many cities, hot, busy and crowded. It was previously thought 1 that these conditions in the tropics generate a hotbed for the formation of new species (speciation). Species ...

It’s not every day that you get to see evolution happen before your eyes. Scratch that, until very recently, it wasn’t any day, since the process of speciation — in which one species splits into two ...

The modes of speciation that are thought to have contributed most to the generation of biodiversity require population differentiation as the initial stage in the speciation process. Consequently, a ...

It has long been thought that dramatic changes in a landscape like the formation of the Andes Mountain range or the Amazon River is the main driver that initiates species to diverge. However, a recent ...

In this month's LCGC Blog, Hayley Brawley and Alexia Kreinbrink explore the challenges facing chromatographers when exploring the complex world of metal speciation. Studying metals in biology is much ...

The process of speciation allows a single species to diverge into two. Dive into the different versions of this process, including “allopatric speciation” and “sympatric speciation,” and discover how ...

New research could herald an important shift in thinking about the genomics of speciation. The prevailing assumption about how the genomes of newly forming species should differ during the earliest ...

The tunnels of the London Underground are hot, dark, and damp. Crowds of warm-blooded humans congregate on the platforms. Stagnant pools of water collect beneath the tracks. The subterranean transit ...

Scientists have identified a new member on the genetic family tree of an endangered pupfish native to south-central New Mexico. "We went into this thinking that there was one species of conservation ...
