Speciation

What is Speciation?
Speciation is when one species separates into many species, They might separate due to adaptation to a new environment or a threat to their existence.

Examples of Speciation
These are two birds who were in the same islands in Hawaii, but then branched off because of speciation, now there are 2 birds. Both are honeycreepers.

There is the I'iwi bird which lives at high elevations on Hawai'i, Maui, and Kaua'i, It has a long curved beak so it can eat nectar. The Palila bird lives on the Mauna Kea Volcano on its west side on the island of Hawai'i, It uses a short beak to feed on seeds
