Postzygotic Isolation

Involves barriers that prevent hybrid offspring from surviving or reproducing.

A lion and a tiger can mate and have a baby, but the baby, called a liger, can’t have babies of its own. This stops the liger from passing its genes on to the next generation.

Hybrid offspring can survive but are unable to find mates in the wild.

Postzygotic isolation occurs when two species do not mate at all.

Hybrid offspring are always fertile and can reproduce.

Sympatric Isolation

When a species splits into two new species without being separated by a physical barrier.

Two groups of beetles live in the same field, but one group likes to eat grass, and the other likes to eat flowers. Because they eat different foods, they no longer mate and become two different species.

Two groups of birds migrate to different areas, leading to a physical separation and the formation of new species.

A population of fish is divided by a dam, resulting in two distinct species over time.

Allopatric Speciation

Occurs when a species splits into two new species because they are separated by a physical barrier.

A mountain range separates a group of rabbits into two groups, leading to the formation of two new species.

Two groups of birds evolve differently due to varying food sources in the same area.

A river divides a population of fish, causing them to adapt to different water conditions.

Involves big changes over a very long time that create new species or groups of species.

Involves small changes that occur quickly within a species.

Involves big changes over a very long time that create new species or groups of species.
