Speciation: An Illustrated Introduction


Summary

The video discusses how bird species evolve into unique forms through speciation and genetic evidence. It explains the process of speciation, including how populations become isolated and evolve into new species. The scenario of new bird species evolving on islands due to colonization, genetic differences, and isolation is explored. Additionally, it delves into how mating systems evolve in isolated populations, leading to speciation, and how habitat fragmentation can also drive the evolution of new and unique bird species.


Evolution of Bird Species
