Generally when a species splits into two populations that are separated by some means that keeps the now individual gen pools from intermingling. This allows new alleles to arise in the separate populations and as time passes this frequency changes in alleles can give rise to new species.

Why is it important to discover new species?

It is important to discover new species because the new discoveries help us understand previously known species even better. The behaviors and characteristics of a new species can explain habitual mysteries in an existing species.


How do new species change ecosystems?

If there is a new environment, it will likely attract species used to that environment. Maybe species not yet seen. If you don't count that as a new species then consider this, the new animals and species attracted to the new environment and landscapes might have a chance of breeding with other animals and species, creating a new species.


What species depends on its ability to produce new members?

All species of organism depend on their ability to produce new members. Without reproduction, the species would die out.


How does the process of evolution contribute to the origin of new species?

Evolution contributes to the origin of new species through a process called speciation, where populations of a species become genetically distinct from one another over time. This can happen through mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow, leading to reproductive isolation and the formation of new species that are no longer able to interbreed with the original population.


Introduced species often take over an ecosystem because they usually what?

Introducing new species threatens biodiversity in several ways. The new species may upset the food chain in an area. If a species grows faster than native species, they may eat all of the food, leaving little for the natural fauna. The new species may also, conversely, be great food for an existing species which would give one species a great growth advantage over others.
