Question

Given the modem definition of ""Species""

Answer 1

Answer:

An evolutionary species “is a single lineage of ancestor-descendant populations of organisms which maintains its identity from other such lineages [in space and time] and which has its own evolutionary tendencies and historical fate” (Wiley, 1981).

Answer 2

Answer:

Most contemporary biologists are familiar with the idea that “species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups” (9), now commonly known as the “biological species definition” or the “biological species concept.”
