Why does allopatric speciation occur more often in animals than sympatric speciation?

Answer:

Allopatric speciation happens when populations become isolated and the gene flow between populations stops. Is difficult for a population of animals to stop gene flow among the individuals of a population that lives in the same area because animals are dynamic and can actively look for male/females to reproduce.
