Bird Caught in Act of Becoming a New Species


The department of biology at Queens University and the Argentine Museum of Natural History state that the South American song bird differ in color and song but show little difference in their genetics, which down the road could mean that they could become a new specie. They studied nine different species and came up with that the male reproductive plumage and song to attract the females are different. Researchers are looking to find difference in the genes that may prove to be a new species and will let them see evolution.
