11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
KEY CONCEPT New species can arise when populations are isolated.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
The isolation of populations can lead to speciation.
• 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
• Reproductive isolation can occur between isolated populations.
– members of different populations cannot mate successfully
– final step to becoming separate species
• Speciation is the rise of two or more species from one existing species.

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
Populations can become isolated in several ways.
• Behavioral barriers can cause isolation.– called behavioral isolation– includes differences in courtship or mating behaviors

11.5 Speciation Through Isolation
• Geographic barriers can cause isolation.
– called geographic isolation– physical barriers divide population
• Temporal barriers can cause isolation.– called temporal isolation– timing of reproductive periods prevents mating
