Summary Introduction

To review:

The experimental design which help in testing the hypothesis that whether the bird populations present in different islands belongs to the same species.

Introduction:

Speciation is defined as the evolutionary process by which populations evolve and leads to the formation of a new species. Speciation takes place in some specific conditions like when a group of organisms separates from the other members of its species and develop its own unique characteristics. The presence of these unique characteristics is actually the demand of a different environment which helps in adaptation process. This development of distinct characteristic leads the formation of new species from their ancestors.
