You collect individuals from different allopatric populations of a leaf-eating beetle. In the laboratory, you conduct mate-choice experiments to assess levels of reproductive isolation among beetles from different populations. Assuming that ecological speciation occurred in the wild, which pattern should you expect?.

Respuesta :

Less reproductive isolation among populations that share similar habitats.

What is habitat reproductive isolation?

  • Habitat isolation is the term for when populations of a species move to a new habitat and settle in an area where they no longer overlap with other populations of the same species.
  • When reproduction with the parent species stops, a new group emerges that is genetically and reproductively independent.

What factors affect reproductive isolation?

  • The members of different species will be reproductively isolated by any factor that prevents potentially viable individuals from coming together.
  • Different habitats, physical barriers, and a variation in the timing of sexual development or flowering are examples of the different types of barriers that can result in isolation.
