Reproductive isolation prevents variations from spreading throughout the entire population. Since genetic variations basically occur randomly, the chances that the same variations will occur in both reproductively separated subpopulations are vanishingly slim. Thus, genetic divergence between both subpopulations will occur, and this may eventually lead to speciation.

Isolation stops populations of the same species from interbreeding. This results in separate breeding among populations and genetic differences become more pronounced with each generation.

isolation separates the species to not breed, making new organisms evolve, making the process of speciation bigger.

Not only isolation; but also changes in the availability of large seeds compared to the {environmentally forced} availability of only smaller seeds results in smaller beaks.
