What is the difference between geographic isolation and habitat differentiation?
Geographic isolation is when a population is separated by a river/canyon or some impassable terrain. Habitat isolation is when members of a population live in a different type of habitat, say some live in the forest at the bottom of the mountain, while others live further up the mountain. These would then become different populations and evolve to perhaps form two different species.
Which increases the rate of speciation?
Population bottlenecks Reproductive isolation Niche availability
Which is the first step that occurred in the speciation of the Galapagos finches a. establishment of genetic equilibrium b. behavioral isolation c. ecological competition d. arrival of founding popu?
D. arrival of founding populations
What are three ways isolation occur?
1. When new species form.2. When a group is separated from the rest of its species.3. When members of the isolated group can no longer mate with the rest of species.
How would you define a biological species?
A biological species is a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, typically sharing common characteristics and occupying a specific ecological niche. This reproductive isolation from other groups helps maintain distinct genetic boundaries among species.
What type of isolation mechanism was important in the formation of Galapagos finches species?
Geographic IsolationSpeciation in the Galápagos finches occurred by founding of new populations, geographic isolation, gene pool changes, reproductive isolation, and ecological competition.
What is type of isolation that prevents easterns and western meadowlarks from interbreeding?
Ecological isolation occurs between eastern and western meadowlarks, preventing interbreeding. Their different habitats and behaviors keep them geographically separated, reducing the chance of gene flow and hybridization.
Is ecological isolation a prezygotic isolating mechanism?
Sure is. How can one mate if an ecological barrier is erected between two biological species? Even something as simple as the time of day can be a barrier to mating.
Why are some animals more diverse than others?
Natural selection. Genetic engineering. Geographic isolation. Reproductive isolation. Ecological competition. Movement in and out of populations. There're A LOT more reasons.
What is the name for a type of isolation that prevents species from interbreeding?
there are six types which are below: 1. geographical isolation 2. ecological (habitat) isolation 3. behavioral (ethological) isolation 4. temporal isolation 5. structural (mechanical) isolation 6. gamete mortality (gamete 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.
Five types of prezygotic isolating mechanisms?
Geographic isolation: populations are separated by physical barriers like mountains or bodies of water. Ecological isolation: populations inhabit different niches within the same region. Temporal isolation: populations breed at different times. Behavioral isolation: individuals do not recognize each other as potential mates. Mechanical isolation: reproductive organs are physically incompatible.
What is the difference between geographic isolation and habitat differentiation?

What common problem did people in the american southwest and the Norse of greenland both faceA lack of food B isolation from other civilizations Cdisease D ecological disasters?
disease
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.
Which increases the rate of speciation?
Population bottlenecks Reproductive isolation Niche availability
What type of isolating mechanism was important in the formation of Galapagos finch species?
Geographic IsolationSpeciation in the Galápagos finches occurred by founding of new populations, geographic isolation, gene pool changes, reproductive isolation, and ecological competition.
