• temporal isolation 
• gametic isolation
• geographic isolation

• hybrid sterility 
• temporal isolation
• mechanical isolation

The flowers of pink tulips open in the morning, while the flowers of lavender tulips open in the early afternoon. The bees that pollinate these tulips cannot carry pollen back & forth between the two types of tulips because of their flowers being closed at different times of day. What type of reproductive barrier is this?

• behavioral isolation
• hybrid sterility 
• temporal isolation
• mechanical isolation 

The term for the formation of new and distinct species over the course of evolution is...

• speciation
• biological species concept
• reproductive barrier
• natural selection
