Tracing One Allopatric Speciation Event
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State

Watch for
Confirming speciation requires testing whether interbreeding still succeeds after reintroduction — divergent traits alone, without a demonstrated reproductive barrier, do not confirm two populations have become separate species.
