=== Quantum and budding speciation === The botanist Verne Grant proposed the term quantum speciation that combined the ideas of [[J. T. Gulick]] (his observation of the variation of species in semi-isolation), [[Sewall Wright]] (his models of genetic drift), Mayr (both his peripatric and genetic revolution models), and [[George Gaylord Simpson]] (his development of the idea of [[quantum evolution]]).<ref name="Grant1971">{{Citation|title=Plant Speciation |author=Verne Grant |date=1971 |publisher=Columbia University Press |location=New York |isbn=978-0231083263 |pages=432 }}</ref>{{rp|114}} Quantum speciation is a rapid process with large genotypic or phenotypic effects, whereby a new, cross-fertilizing plant species buds off from a larger population as a semi-isolated peripheral population.<ref>{{Citation|title=Speciational trends and the role of species in macroevolution |author=Douglas J.
