Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options (temporal isolation, mechanical isolation, behavioral isolation, and ecological isolation) are types of reproductive isolating mechanisms that prevent or reduce gene flow between populations, ultimately contributing to speciation. Temporal isolation involves differences in timing of reproduction, mechanical isolation involves differences in sexual anatomy or physiology, behavioral isolation involves differences in courtship rituals or behaviors, and ecological isolation involves differences in habitat preferences or geographic ranges.
