What is alopatric speciation?

Allopatric Species:%20%20species%20occupying%20areas%20separated%20by%20space%20or%20time','(allo%20=%20other,%20different;%20patri%20=%20fatherland,%20habitat)','../../sounds/bio303/allopatric.wav')" onmouseover="window.status='Occupy different areas'; return true">Allopatric species are species which, because they occupy areas separated by space (geographic isolation) or time, are reproductively isolated. It is often unknown whether, if brought together, they could actually interbreed. As an example, dogs and coyotes were originally allopatric species. However, when humans and their dogs moved into coyote-inhabited areas, it was discovered that dogs and coyotes are capable of interbreeding and producing viable offspring. By now, there are so many dog genes in the coyote population that there may no longer be any such thing as a 100% coyote. for further references see: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/Courses/bio303/natural%20selection.htm

Does a Hawk and a owl occupy the same niche?

No. Because the hawk and owl hunt similar prey but occupy different ecological niches. Yes. The hawks hunt in daylight, and are replaced by owls species at night, but there are owls that hunt in the same areas as the hawks, so they do occupy the same ecological niche.
