Another way for reproductive isolation

A

Q

Sympatric and give an example of this

Q

Behavorial mechanisms

A

mating activites and spacing

17
Q

what if eggs and sperm can meet, How does it make the species seperate

A

By post zygote isolating mechiasms by low hybrud viability an infertility.

18
Q

Disadvantages to Biological Species Concept

A

Cannot evaluate fossils or asexual organisms. Difficult to apply to closely related populations who do not overlap geographically.
