Potential mates do not meet though live in same geographic region...
Potential mates do not meet though live in same geographic region but occupy separate habitat. This type of isolation is _________.
Options
- AEthological
- BEcological
- CTemporal
- DMechanical
Correct answer
B. Ecological
Step-by-step solution
Ecological isolation occurs when two species that could interbreed do not do so because they live in different habitats within the same geographic area.
Ethological isolation refers to behavioral differences, such as distinct courtship rituals, that prevent mating.
Temporal isolation occurs when species breed at different times, such as different seasons or times of the day.
Mechanical isolation happens when physical differences in reproductive organs prevent successful mating.
