recognition species concept
recognition species concept The concept that a species is characterized by a unique fertilization system (the specific mate recognition system), which restricts gene-flow with other species. This changes the emphasis in the biological species concept from negative (not interbreeding with other species) to positive (breeding specifically with members of the same species).
