Question

species are normally subdivided into populations that are more or less scattered, that may be separated at one time, but may merge together again, and successfully reproduce, at a later time. tattersall and desalle describe this process as

○ reticulation

○ speciation

○ phylogenesis

○ ontogenesis

Explanation:

Reticulation refers to the process where populations of a species may separate and later merge and reproduce. Speciation is the formation of new species. Phylogenesis is the evolutionary history of a species or group. Ontogenesis is the development of an individual organism. The described process matches reticulation.

Answer:

reticulation
