11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Populations become isolated when there is no gene flow. – Isolated populations adapt to their own environments.– Genetic differences can add up over generations.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Speciation - the rise of two or more species from one existing species.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Geographic Isolation- physical barriers divide population and prevent mating.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Behavioral Isolation- differences in courtship or mating behaviors and prevent mating.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Temporal Isolation- timing of reproductive periods prevents mating.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Reproductive Isolation- members of different populations cannot mate successfully.
