Reproductive isolation mechanism prevent interbreeding of naturally sympatric population. Given below are categories of isolating mechanisms. Choose the correct name for isolation when potential mates occupy overlapping ranges but reproduce at different times of the year.
1 Ecological isolation
2 Behavioural isolation
3 Temporal isolation
4 Mechanical isolation
Explanation:
Temporal isolation occurs when two population differ in their period of activity or reproductive cycles. Example leopard, frogs and wood frogs reach sexual maturity at different times in the spring and hence cannot interbreed.
