Speciation- The formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.

Please explain to me how this is not what speciation actually means.
It is exactly what it means, but we have no observable evidence of it because it allegedly occurs over millions of years. Therefore, all they have examples of are microevolution aka adaption.
Here's the link from CARM since you don't believe Nakara's definition:
Macroevolution is evolution on a large scale, above the species level, over a long period of time that results in new species and/or new body plans. Microevolution is evolution on a small scale, below the level of species.
The paper you posted is all about how macroevolution happens. Congratulations! You win!
