A species is a reproductively isolated, independent evolutionary unit which occupies a certain niche. In biology it is a taxonomic group whose members can interbreed: a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. It is one of the basic units of biological classification.

The rise of a new species from an ancestor is called Speciation speciation.
