speciated
Became distinct species
Speciated is the past tense of speciate, meaning to have diverged into separate species through evolutionary processes.
Populations speciate when they become reproductively isolated and develop distinct genetic characteristics: The finches speciated after colonizing different islands.
In chemistry, speciated describes a substance analyzed or separated into its component chemical species.
