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.

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.
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.
Does convergent evolution result in speciation?
All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.
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.
Speciation caused by change in the course of a river is an example pf divergent speciation?
Allopatric speciation.
Which condition may result in speciation?
Sexual Selection.
The formation of a new species as a result of evolution by natural selection?
speciation
The formation of new species Can result from what?
Mutation, isolation and natural selection. Google allopatric speciation.

Speciation often results from which type of selection?
I dk
Which form of natural selection is most likely to play a role in speciation?
Disruptive Selection
When a new species arises from natural selection this is called?
I will assume the word you are looking for is speciation. Perhaps adaptive speciation to be precise.
What is the formation of new species by natural selection?
We call this speciation, and is largely driven by evolution and natural selection.
What is thought to be the two factors demonstrating sympatric speciation in the cichlids of Lake Victoria in East Africa?
-rapid speciation -sexual 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.
Natural selection is the only mechanism of evolution that will lead to?
Adaptive change and speciation.
