Solution

The appearance of a new species of oak tree would be called a macroevolutionary event. Macroevolution refers to evolution on a scale of separated gene pools. Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes (typically described as changes in allele frequencies) within a species or population.
