• Emphasizes reproductive isolation

• Species define by ecological niche

• Useful for fossils

• Accommodate sexual and asexual reproduction (2)

• Species defined by shape and other structural features

• Accommodate sexual and asexual reproduction (1)

• Species define by ability to reproduce viable, fertile offspring

Organize these options into the right categories.

Groups:

(a) Prezygotic

,

(b) Postzygotic

• Reduced Hybrid Viability

• Gametic

• Behavioral

• Temporal

• Reduced Hybrid Fertility

• Hybrid Breakdown

• Habitat

• Mechanical

Match the following.

• Stability

• population forms new species without geographical isolation

• Sympatric Speciation

• reproductive barriers are strengthened

• Reinforcement

• continued production of hybrid individuals when they have similar fitness to their parent species and are able to survive and reproduce

• Fusion

• reproductive barriers are weakened

• Allopatric Speciation

• population forms new species due to geographical isolation
