HEY MATE

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER..

Isolating mechanisms The reproductive characteristics which prevent species from fusing. Isolating mechanisms are particularly important in the biological species concept, in which species of sexual organisms are defined by reproductive isolation, i.e. a lack of gene mixture. Two broad kinds of isolating mechanisms between species are typically distinguished, together with a number of sub-types (modified from Mayr 1970):

1) Pre-mating isolating mechanisms. Factors which cause species to mate with their own kind (assortative mating).

a) Temporal isolation. Individuals of different species do not mate because they are active at different times of day or in different seasons.

b) Ecological isolation. Individuals mate in their preferred habitat, and therefore do not meet individuals of other species with different ecological preferences.

c) Behavioral isolation. Potential mates meet, but choose members of their own species.

d) Mechanical isolation. Copulation is attempted, but transfer of sperm does not take place.
