speciation  英 [,spiːʃɪ'eɪʃ(ə)n;,spiːs-] 美 [,spisi'eʃən]

n. [进化] 物种形成 

名词复数:speciations 

Microevolution looks at changes within species overtime — changes that may be preludes to speciation, the origin of newspecies. 物种的微观进化随时都在发生——变化可能导致物种形成,这就是新物种的起源。
Some researchers have argued that speciation rates, both terrestrial and marine, could be much higher in the tropics, making them a "cradle" of biodiversity. 一些专家认为,在热带地区的陆地和海域,物种形成的机率更高,这样就使热带地区成为了生物多样性的摇篮。
