How is species defined as the biological species concept?
Organisms are the same species if the have the potential, or actually interbreed one with another. Does not apply to all organisms. Bacteria being an example of this. Is not as strong a concept as once it was as it did not adequately address hybridization.

evolve
What are the differences between the morphological species concept biological species concept and phylogenetic species concept?
The morphological species concept differentiates species by their physical traits, basically. The biological species concept defines a species as generally organisms that breed with others of the same species; rather a genetic isolation concept. The phylogenetic concept is based on evolutionary relationships and is the concept used by cladists.

Why the biological species concept cannot be used to identify fossil organisms?
Some organisms have no bones to leave behind. Even so, the conditions have to be perfect for a fossil to be formed: they have to die in a riverbed; no other animals can damage the bones; sedimants have to slowly build up without the bones being moved ; and finally they have to be discovered by a person.
The death of all the organisms of a species?
