- Researchers at IIT Bombay discover the role of environmental resources, genes and mating in species in the development of new species in the same area.
- It was challenging the traditional view that new species can develop only in distinct geographies.
- They found that the speciation, or the creation of new species, happen even when there are no physical obstacles.
- Allopatric speciation is when physical barriers, like mountains or bodies of water, split populations, which leads to the creation of new species.
- In contrast, sympatric speciation happens in the same area of land, where there are no such hurdles.
