Key Features
- Adaptation to specific environmental conditions
- Isolation mechanisms leading to reproductive barriers
- Divergence in traits that contribute to reproductive isolation
Pros
- Promotes biodiversity
- Helps species adapt to and thrive in different habitats
- Contributes to the richness of ecosystems
Cons
- May lead to competition and conflict between species
- Can be a slow process that requires long periods of time
