In determining species, it is best to differentiate in terms of the population that is being adapted in which, a certain niche. So, if it has a small gene pool, and the different species will be interbreeding each other with a much genetic variability in gene pool, it would most likely cause a less adaptation. The niche will be having a less adaptation if too much genetic variability will occur.
The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.
