Species
Glasgow City Development Plan, Published by Glasgow City Council in 2016, defines a species as: ‘A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding and formally recognized as distinct from other groups.’
North Ayrshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan, 2019-2031, published by North Ayrshire Council, defines species as: ‘Groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups. This definition – known as the Biological Species Concept – does not apply to species which reproduce asexually. Other definitions include the Phylogenetic Species Concept and the Evolutionary Species Concept.’
