If you are referring to anatomy, an isthmus is the narrow connection between organs. For example, the isthmus of the fauces is where the back of your mouth meets your throat. Geographically, however, an isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses and separating two bodies of water. An example of this would be the Isthmus of Panama land link which extends east-west about 400 miles from the border of Costa Rica to the border of Colombia.

How is an isthmus made or produced?
An isthmus is a slender piece of land that connects two larger pieces, and has water on either side. It could be formed in several ways. * Erosion: The isthmus may be of a softer material than the land at each end, and may have eroded faster, becoming thinner than the adjacent land. * Deposition: The isthmus may be formed by wind or water depositing silt or dust that lodges in between two prominent pieces of land, gradually building up till they are joined. * Earthquake: land between two islands may be lifted above sea level by seismic forces, linking them. * Volcanic: Lava may flow down from a volcanic island, linking it to another landmass.

Physical separation of a population from the rest of its species is called what?
This could occur by two mechanisms: vicariance and dispersal. Vicariance is where a geographical barrier arises to split a population in two. For example, The isthmus of panama used to be below water and the aquatic habitat on the east and west were accessible to the fish and other animals that lived there. When the isthmus split those two waters, that is considered a vicariant event. The second mechanism is dispersal. An example would be humans crossing the Bering straight from Asia to North America. The humans that got to North America bred and started a new population that eventually gathered some genetic differences from the population in Asia.
