Meanings (ES + gloss)
especiación • evolución de las especies
The process by which new distinct species evolve.
In both groups, however, we find copious and intricate speciation so that, often, species limits are narrow and ill defined.
No one had ever seen a new species produced, nor, according to Darwin, should they expect to. Speciation was so drawn out as to be, for all intents and purposes unobservable.
