Other films‚ such

Evolutionary Concepts Defining Speciation: BSC and Recognition concept Species are produced by individual speciation events‚ so a single species concept can’t be defining all species.

The conceptual basis of his research is the Recognition Concept of Species. He argues that

mammalian evolution towards colonization of land‚ however in some instances this trend has been reversed; there are three large orders of mammals that have separately re-adapted to marine life‚ the Cetacea (whales‚ dolphins and porpoises)‚ the Pinnipedia (seals‚ sea lions and walruses)‚ and the Sirenia (dugongs‚ sea cows and manatees). This “re-adaptation” is most extreme in the cetaceans which have evolved a totally fish-like form‚ masking their true mammalian ancestry (Coffey‚ 1977). The evolution of
