文法句型
speci- + noun (e.g. speciation, species-specific)
用法筆記
Unlike a standalone noun, 'speci' is not used by itself — it attaches to other word parts. The most common formations are 'speciation' (how new species arise), 'species-specific' (unique to one species), 'intraspecific' (within a species), and 'interspecific' (between different species).
