Ecological isolation occurs when species live in the same territories but never meet. They occupy the same territory, but different habitats.
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.

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.
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.
Geographic IsolationSpeciation in the Galápagos finches occurred by founding of new populations, geographic isolation, gene pool changes, reproductive isolation, and ecological competition.
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.
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.
Natural selection. Genetic engineering. Geographic isolation. Reproductive isolation. Ecological competition. Movement in and out of populations. There're A LOT more reasons.
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)
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.
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.

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.
