That would be geographic isolation and reproductive isolation. Both could lead to speciation.
Allopactric ( other country ) speciation.

Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.
Reproductive isolation separates the reproduction of one population into two populations. Over time after generations, the two separate populations start living and reproducing differently, so they evolve into two separate species, which is speciation (also known as divergent evolution). Reproductive isolation and speciation reduces gene flow.
Geographic isolation causes the environments to separate. The members of each side will be separated and gradually become more and more distinct as time goes. Eventually, when they are unable to interbreed, that is evidence of speciation.
Reproductive isolation is a type of speciation. Reproductive isolation is when a species divides forming two subspecies, due to different mating periods.
Yes, allopatric speciation is more likely to occur on an island close to a mainland because geographic isolation plays a key role in driving speciation. Isolation on an island can lead to reproductive barriers and genetic divergence, promoting the process of allopatric speciation. With limited gene flow from the mainland, unique evolutionary trajectories can lead to the formation of new species on the island.
Sympatric Speciation develops within the range of the parent population. This type of speciation does not include geographical isolation, and can occur rapidly if a genetic change results in a barrier between the mutants and the parent population.
According to the theory of punctuated equilibrium, a rapid change in the environment or isolation of a small population could lead to speciation. This sudden change or isolation can create new selection pressures that drive the rapid evolution of a population, resulting in the formation of a new species.
