Speciation

Speciation occurs when a population of a species becomes so different from other members of its species that it can no longer be considered part of the same species. This occurs through a process known as macroevolution. In this video, That Bio Doc discusses the different ways in which species can diverge from each other, why barriers, both physical and genetic, are so important for speciation events, and what happens when to closely related species reconnect.
