Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sympatric species are different species that live in the same geographic area, but are prevented from successfully reproducing by some form of reproductive isolation. This can include mechanisms such as behavioral, temporal, or ecological differences that prevent successful mating and hybridization. Allopatric species are geographically separated and do not share the same range, while ecological species refer to species that occupy different ecological niches and have adaptations to different environmental conditions. Hybrid species are the result of successful mating between two different species.
