How can you use “speciation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

An additional problem with focusing on mtDNA (or any other molecular) divergence as a primary criterion for recognizing species is that it will lead us to overlook new or rapidly diverged species, such as might arise through divergent selection or polyploidy, and thus to conclude that speciation requires long-term isolation.
I see no reason to accept one of these cases, a pair of sister species of “parasites” (fig wasps) on the same host species, since allopatric speciation of a widespread parasite need not be accompanied by speciation of its host.
Coyne and Orr appear to adopt selection as the null hypothesis for speciation, whereas drift is generally taken as the null hypothesis in much of evolutionary genetics, for the simple reason that drift operates at all loci in all finite (i.e.
Coyne and Orr do not doubt that it is a fairly common mode of speciation, yet “it is almost impossible to demonstrate parapatric speciation in nature” (p.
Since the basic single-copy repertoire of dispersed aromatic-pathway genes shown in Figure 2for Synechocystis (Ssp) is representative of other cyanobacteria such as Synechococcus (Syn) and Prochlorococcus (Pmu) and is also present at dispersed extra-operonic loci of Anabaena and Nostoc , an obvious possibility would seem to be that the genes of the supraoperon originated by LGT in a common ancestor of Anabaena and Nostoc . If so, speciation was followed by different species-specific gene-insertion events.
