Yes. Without natural selection there might probably still be change, but it would produce a fine gradient of diverging morphologies in every 'direction' of change. Natural selection limits the 'directions' of change, thereby producing distinct morphologies and thus distinct species.

What kind of selection can result in speciation?
Natural selection seems to be the only selection that can drive speciation with powerful adaptive change. Sexual selection seems to stay within the species and both gene flow and genetic drift do not seem to drive speciation very well.
What is the formation of new species by natural selection?
We call this speciation, and is largely driven by evolution and natural selection.
Natural selection can lead to the formation of a new species which is called?
The development of a new species through evolution is called speciation.
When a new species arises from natural selection this is called?
When a new species arises from natural selection, it is called speciation. This process occurs when a population becomes reproductively isolated from another population, leading to the formation of distinct species over time.
Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?
Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
Which form of natural selection is most likely to play a role in speciation?
Reproductive isolation through sexual selection is often an important factor in speciation. This type of natural selection can lead to the evolution of reproductive barriers that prevent individuals from different populations from successfully interbreeding, ultimately resulting in the formation of distinct species.
The formation of new species Can result from what?
Mutation, isolation and natural selection. Google allopatric speciation.
Is speciation a sub-process to natural selection?
Yes and so are successful reproduction and the struggle to survive.
How do habitat and competition lead to speciation of Pollenpeepers on Warwick Archipelago?
how is natural selection occurring in the pollenpeepers
Which of the following is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
Only natural selection could be the answer here as natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolutionary change and speciation in large populations.
How does natural selection and evolution cause speciation?
Natural selection leads to changes in a population over time as individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce, passing those traits to their offspring. If these changes accumulate and lead to reproductive isolation between populations, new species can form through a process called speciation. This can occur through geographical isolation, reproductive isolation, or genetic mutations that create barriers to interbreeding.
Is natural selection a cause of evolution?
No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.
