Reproductive isolation can lead to the formation of new species through the prevention of gene flow between populations. This can result in the development of unique genetic traits and adaptations in each isolated population. Over time, reproductive isolation can contribute to the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
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.

In allopatric speciation, geographic isolation occurs first when a population becomes physically separated by barriers such as mountains, rivers, or distance. This separation prevents individuals from interbreeding, leading to reproductive isolation over time as the two populations evolve independently. As genetic divergence increases due to natural selection, mutation, and genetic drift, reproductive isolation mechanisms develop, resulting in the emergence of distinct species.
Geographical isolation is not a cause of speciation in an asexually reproducing organism because the population is self-pollinating and would be less prone to the factors which results from geographical isolation.
Allopactric ( other country ) speciation.
Reproductive isolation
Reproductive isolation is a type of speciation. Reproductive isolation is when a species divides forming two subspecies, due to different mating periods.
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.

reproductive isolation
Reproductive Isolation.
The three types of reproductive isolation are: 1. Temporal isolation: different times of reproduction 2. Behavioral isolation: different habits of the same species 3. Geographical isolation: species are separated by natural barriers
