Small population size This is definitely wrong. Speciation is caused by two groups or more groups of the same species becoming separated into different environments. There both adapt to their own environment and become slightly different to each other. EG If one group of birds is carried to an island that only has long deep flowers to feed on. They will develop longer and narrower beaks to be able to gather the nectar.
Environmental changes influenced speciation

Children are more likely to have heavy infestations and are also more likely to suffer from malabsorption and malnutrition than adults.
More likely in males.
Allopatric speciation and sympatric speciation are two factors. Allopatric speciation occurs when physical barriers are formed, separating the specie. This will cause the specie to evolve at different rates causing a new specie to form. Sympatric speciation is less likely to occur when comparing it to allopatric. In sympatric speciation is no longer physical but generic. For example a mutation in the genetic order of the specie (which does not happen as often as physical barriers), and a different mating preference/season.
A small, isolated population is more likely to change substantially enough to become a new species than a large one.
A population becomes separated by different environments and do not reproduce with one another. - Copied right from study island
The organisms on the island are slightly different than those on the mainland.
A population becomes separated by different environments and do not reproduce with one another.

Speciation is the process of a new species developing. Speciation can occur from a geographical split in the species, Species can split in the same area if they start depending on different foods.
Isolation such as geological can cause speciation because if one species where divided into two because of geological reasons, they're likely to change their behaviors and physical appearances to match that region.
