State

Speciation is the formation of two or more descendant species from one ancestral population, requiring reproductive isolation between the resulting populations.

Show

One ancestral population splitting into two populations that no longer interbreed, even if later reunited, has undergone speciation.

Watch for

Speciation requires reproductive isolation to take hold — geographic separation alone, without isolation persisting, does not complete the process.
