Loose terms such as speciation cannot be used within the same species. It seems evolutionists confuse terms to push their narrative. Please correctly use the English Term Adaptations within the same species ie cats, dogs, insects, reptiles, etc.
I'll use the scientific definition - because that's what we're discussing. Science. Not English literature.
There is no speciation seen, unless we see neomorphing to xenomorphing from one species to another and never going back in the process. The beaks of finches change back and forth within the same species and the correct term is adaptation to environmental conditions, food conditions and threats.
You complain about use of the term 'species', and then raise fictitious terms like "neomorphing" and "xenomorphing"? Please provide
definitions of both terms, with
examples of both occurring in reality.
If you really want to challenge the observation of speciation in the Galapagos finches - take it up with the Grants. Here are some references for you - enjoy the reading.

Opps, almost forgot their Kyoto Prize references - the ones for demonstrating evolution by natural selection in the field.

If you want more papers on rapid speciation, there are plenty of others available for insects, plants, fish, lizards and even some mammals.
Here's one on fish (cichlids) in Lake Victoria:

I refuse to read authors who continuously and deceptively use wrong English terminologies.
Cool. As I've done none of the above, then you'll presumable keep interacting with me.
It is funny how Atheistic Evolutionists make fun of me for spelling mistakes as I write on the fly, which ironically points to how easy they use the wrong terms like evolution in describing adaptation within the same species and never across different species as Darwin meant.
Cool. As I've done none of the above, then you'll presumable keep interacting with me.
In fact Evolutionists claim millions of millions of years of intermediate processes, yet when providing evidence they sight ten generations of the same species as evolution, which really is inconsistent and incoherent and should be scientifically rejected.
Some speciation events are rapid, some speciation events are gradual. Hence, why there was a very long, very intense debate within the scientific community about punctuated equilibrium vs gradualism. Nature is highly complex with multiple mechaisms operating at different speeds and scales. There are at least five observed types of speciation that I'm aware of that have been observed, either in the wild, in the lab or via the result of human intervention. I'm sure there are more - as my knowledge on the topic is that of an interested lay-level enthusiast with a year of tertiary level biology.
I'll quote the introduction paper on cichlids I referenced earlier:
Speciation, the origin of novel species, is a complex and multilayered process that has remained hard to understand for empiricists and theoreticians alike. Researchers have dedicated much effort to pinpointing the factors and conditions that are responsible for some taxa diversifying rapidly while others linger in a speciation stasis. Only now are we realizing that it is the coupling of different intrinsic (e.g. natural history, genetics) and extrinsic (e.g. climate, habitat, behavioral interference) factors that produces the speciation momentum of adaptive radiations
