Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sympatric speciation occurs when selection causes a single species to develop different adaptations to a similar environment. Allopatric speciation occurs when a population is geographically separated from the rest of the species and evolves in isolation. Parapatric speciation occurs when two populations have partial geographic overlap and evolve differences in response to ecological gradients. Peripatric speciation occurs when a small group of individuals from a larger population colonizes a new area and evolves independently.
