Types of Species : There are around five types of species. They are :
Taxonomic Species : These are a group of morphologically similar organisms.
Microspecies : These are formed from a single parent.
Biological Species : These group of organisms involves sexually reproducing individuals.
Evolutionary Species : These group is the combination of all three which includes sexually reproducing organisms, phyletic lineages and also uniparental organisms.
Successional Species : These are groups including phyletic lineages.
