In my exchange with Vox, I've used the gloss TENS to stand for the 'Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.' But it would be a mistake to think that evolutionary theory as a whole is defined exclusively this way.
John Wilkins, as is his habit, says much that it thought-provoking in a survey of speciation theories. He's even provided a graphic to make sense of the relative emphasis of each.
Enjoy!

The descriptions of different theories of speciation was interesting, but I was struck by this concluding statement:
"So that's why I say species aren't theoretical objects, but are phenomenal ones."
It explains a lot for me.
