Understanding Speciation and Adaptive Radiation

The video tutorial explains the process of natural selection, highlighting factors like overproduction, competition, and adaptation. It delves into speciation, emphasizing the importance of isolation, particularly geographic isolation, using the Galapagos Islands as a case study. The video discusses endemic species, such as the flightless cormorant, and illustrates adaptive radiation through the example of Galapagos finches, showing how a single species can evolve into multiple species occupying different niches.

Describe the process of speciation and its significance in evolution.
