Adaptive radiation is the rapid evolution of diversely adapted species from a common ancestor upon introduction to new environmental opportunities.
Hybrid zones are regions where interbreeding between different populations of species occurs, leading to the creation of hybrid offspring. These zones provide valuable insight into evolutionary processes and speciation.
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species, often driven by natural selection.
A detailed exploration of sympatric speciation, a process by which new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region.
