The 21 pages that link to Speciation, each with the reason it gives.

• BiodiversityRelated: The formation of species adds to biodiversity over evolutionary time.

• BiogeographyRelated: Barriers created by geography are the most common trigger of speciation.

• EvolutionBroader topic: It shows how evolutionary change can eventually produce distinct lineages.

• SpeciesRelated: It explains how one species becomes multiple independently evolving lineages.

• Modern synthesisRelated: The synthesis explains species formation through divergence and reproductive isolation.

• Common descentRelated: Repeated speciation produces the branching pattern expected under common descent.

• Darwin's finchesRelated: It explains how island populations can become separate finch species.

• Species problemNarrower topic: It generates the divergence that species criteria attempt to detect.

• Species conceptRelated: Species definitions shape how the products of speciation are recognized.

• Theodosius DobzhanskyNarrower topic: Dobzhansky investigated how genetic divergence and reproductive isolation contribute to species formation.

• CichlidRelated: Cichlid species provide examples of rapid diversification and barriers to interbreeding.

• Human–chimpanzee last common ancestorNarrower topic: The ancestral population's divergence belongs to the broader process of lineage separation.

• Hugo de VriesNarrower topic: De Vries proposed that abrupt variations could produce new species in relatively short periods.

• Evolutionary theoryRelated: It explains how evolutionary change can produce distinct, diverging lineages.

• History of lifeRelated: It generates new branches in the history of life.

• Divergent evolutionNarrower topic: Divergence can lead to speciation when differences and reproductive barriers accumulate.

• MacroevolutionRelated: Lineage splitting is the central process that generates species diversity over macroevolutionary timescales.

• PinguiculaRelated: Island and mountain populations raise questions about butterwort diversification.

• MicroevolutionNarrower topic: Accumulated changes within diverging populations can contribute to reproductive isolation.

• PupfishRelated: Geographic isolation among spring systems can restrict gene flow and promote pupfish divergence.

• SticklebackRelated: Some stickleback populations show how ecological divergence can contribute to reproductive isolation.
