There is a wide variety of organisms on this planet, yet one of the great unanswered questions in biology is how new species are formed and maintained at the genetic level. The question of species formation and maintenance is critical for our understanding of evolution as well as the conservation of endangered species. Two primary goals of research on species formation are determining the genetic factors that prevent interspecies reproduction and identifying the evolutionary forces driving their divergence.

这个星球上有各种各样的生物体，但生物学中一个悬而未决的问题是新物种如何在遗传水平上形成和维持。 物种形成和维持的问题对于我们理解进化和保护濒危物种至关重要。 物种形成研究的两个主要目标是确定阻止物种间繁殖的遗传因素，并确定驱动其分歧的进化力量。
