Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sympatric speciation occurs within the home range of a species, meaning that the population undergoes speciation while occupying the same geographic area. This is in contrast to allopatric speciation, which occurs when a population is geographically separated from the rest of its species. While sympatric speciation can occur independently from allopatric speciation, it may also occur after or together with allopatric speciation.
