   Aug 21, 2017 · Still, it's worth asking why there biology does (to some extent) have "species" that don't interbreed; Mayr's definition has stuck because it is useful. The first thing to consider is how remarkable it is that any two individuals (of the same species) can interbreed at all. It's not the default option!

   Aug 28, 2018 · The biologist Ernst Mayr proposed in 1942 that a species is a population of organisms that can all interbreed with each other, and which either cannot or do not interbreed with anything else.

   Oct 31, 2023 · Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Species Similarity & Reproduction: Species that appear similar may not be able to reproduce. The (a) African fish eagle is similar in appearance to the (b) bald eagle, but the two birds are members of different species. Populations of species share a gene pool: a collection of all the variants of genes in the species.

   Is interbreeding more widespread than scientists ever imagined?

   • A deluge of genetic data in recent years suggests that interbreeding between species is more widespread than scientists ever imagined. “I think people will be surprised and the view of species will be challenged as more data comes along,” Jiggins said. “I think it will lead to a fundamental shift in how they view what a species is.”

   What are examples of interspecies hybrids?

   • This question is based on a false premise and shows lack of research — there are many examples of interspecies hybrids that are able to reproduce with other hybrids and/or one or both progenitor species. These hybrids include many modern Homo sapiens, wolves and coyotes, several species of "new world" warblers, and many plants.

   Are mules a good example of interbreeding?

   • The thing is, Mayr's idea is not accepted as the be-all-and-end-all by other biologists. Instead, the problem of how to define a species is still being argued about today, 76 years after Mayr published his definition. Let's come back to mules. They are not a terribly good example of what happens when two species interbreed.

Though invisible to us, there are several factors which act as reproductive barriers between two species. - Envirnmental barriers such as water bodies or mountains are external factors, but species isolation takes place mostly due to various biological factors. - I ...
