Term
|
Definition
| Divergent evolution is the accumulation of differences between groups which can lead to the formation of new species, usually a result of diffusion of the same species to different and isolated environments which blocks the gene flow among the distinct populations allowing differentiated fixation of characteristics through genetic drift and natural selection. |

Term
|
Definition
| Stabilizing or ambidirectional selection, (not the same thing as negative or purifying selection[1][2]), is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value. |
