Summary Introduction
To review:
The ways, in which pollinator specialization in case of plants and sexual selection in animals increases the rates of
Introduction:
Speciation is the process by which species evolve from an ancestral population. The rate of speciation (although slow) depends on a number of factors such as diet, dispersal ability, and sexual selection.

Students have asked these similar questions
List three factors that are contributing to the decline of pollinator populations
Why are species of weedy plants more likely to be r-selected than K-selected? Why are most species with large body size K-selected? What other general patterns of lifestyle are associated with either r- or K-selection?
If the variation in flower-tube length in this population were due solely to environmental factors, what would be the expected change in flower-tube length over several generations? Why or why not?
