Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of prezygotic reproductive isolation, where the timing of reproduction differs between populations, preventing them from interbreeding. Specifically, it is an example of temporal isolation. Postzygotic isolation refers to mechanisms that prevent the hybrid offspring from producing viable or fertile offspring. Allopatric and sympatric refer to different modes of speciation, which are not relevant to this particular scenario. Outgroup refers to a related but distinct taxonomic concept.
