Defining the term "species" is challenging because it encompasses a diverse range of organisms and reproductive behaviors. Various criteria, such as morphological, genetic, ecological, and behavioral traits, can be used to classify species, leading to differing interpretations. Additionally, phenomena like hybridization and asexual reproduction blur the lines between species, complicating the application of rigid definitions. This complexity has led to the development of multiple species concepts, each with its own strengths and limitations.
