It can be by geological means (i.e. earthquakes, floods, mountains and other other geographic barriers) or population dispersal. It can also be caused by human activity that splits a population, causing geographic isolation.

This condition may be either geographic or reproductive?

This condition may refer to either geographic isolation, where populations are separated by physical barriers, or reproductive isolation, where individuals are unable to interbreed successfully. Geographic isolation can lead to reproductive isolation over time as populations differentiate in isolation.


When does geographic isolation occur?

Geographic isolation occurs when a physical barrier, such as a mountain range, river, or body of water, separates a population into two or more distinct groups. This isolation prevents the groups from interbreeding, leading to genetic divergence and potentially the formation of new species over time.

Speciation without geographic isolation is called what?

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.


What is another name for geographic isolation?

Sympatric speciation specifically excludes?

Geographic isolation as a mechanism for reproductive isolation. In sympatric speciation, new species arise within the same geographic area without physical barriers separating populations. This process typically involves ecological, behavioral, or genetic factors leading to reproductive isolation within a single population.
