Different Types of Species and their Descriptions

Species refer to a group of living organisms that share common characteristics and can interbreed to produce offspring. They are the basic unit of classification in biology and are defined by their genetic similarity and physical traits. 

Different Types of Species and their Descriptions

The classification of species is important in understanding the diversity of life on Earth and in studying the relationships between different organisms.

In biology, all plants and animals are divided into different species. In this article let's look at the different types of species : 

Name of the Species	Description
Morpho species	These are the species erected on the bases of morphological characters.
Taxonomic species	These species have a definite binomial name.
Sibling species	The species that do not interbreed, but are difficult to separate on the basis of morphological characters.
Allopatric species	Species having exclusive geographic areas are called allopatric species
Sympatric species	These species have overlapping areas of geographic distribution.
Parapatric species	These species have adjacent geographic range meeting in a very narrow zone of overlap
Neontological Species	Living species
Allochronic species	The species belonging to different time periods
Synchronic species	The species belonging to the same period of time.
Polytypic species	These species have more than one ideal type according to their geographically isolated areas.
