B) habitat isolation
C) behavioral isolation
D) mechanical isolation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temporal isolation is a type of reproductive barrier that occurs when two species reproduce at different times or seasons. In this scenario, the species mate at different times of the day, making it difficult for them to interbreed. This type of isolation is behavioral in nature as it involves differences in the behavior of the species during the mating season. Habitat isolation refers to species occurring in different habitats, mechanical isolation refers to differences in reproductive structures, and behavioral isolation involves differences in mating behavior.
