speciation in insects
Speciation in insects refers to the evolutionary process by which new species are formed within the insect taxonomic group, typically due to genetic and ecological factors. It involves the development of reproductive isolation mechanisms, such as changes in mating behavior, physiology, or genetic incompatibilities, that prevent interbreeding between distinct populations of insects and lead to the formation of separate species.
