Genital Evolution is a biological theory that explains the adaptive morphological and functional diversification of reproductive structures in insects through sexual selection, speciation, and coevolutionary dynamics, distinguishing it from other evolutionary mechanisms by its focus on reproductive isolation and mating system-driven change.
