Speciation is the evolution of one or more species from a single ancestor species. It can occurs when members of a population become isolated from each other.

Pre-zygotic

and

post-zygotic

isolation

REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION

PRE-ZYGOTIC ISOLATION

post-zygotic isolation

before fertilization

after fertilization

behavioral isolation

mechanical isolation

temporal isolation

Members of the same species behave differently, especially with their mating practices.

Members of different species physically can’t mate with others.

Members of the same place are active at different times of the day, month or even year.

The hybrid is sterile so it can't reproduce.

If two species don't have compatible chromosomes in either shape, size, or number, the zygote will die.

Geographical isolation

gametic isolation

Sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize eggs of another species.

Members of different species live in different geographic areas separated by physical barriers.

Biochemical barrier

Chemical incompatibility

hybrid mortality

environmental isolation

The adult hybrid has a reduced viability.

Members of different species, even if they live in the same geographic area, prefer different habitats where live and copulate.
