What characterizes speciation in new areas, such as a recently formed island?
Speciation cannot occur in a new area until a particular habitat forms.
Speciation occurs extremely slowly and gradually, as new species arrive on the island over hundreds of thousands or millions of years.
Rapid speciation occurs as populations adapt to the environment.
A single species typically inhabits the island for thousands of years before other speciation occurs.
