Question

Bird populations that do not interbreed because they cannot recognize each other's mating calls may evolve into separate species due to

a) Behavioral isolation
b) Geographical isolation
c) Temporal isolation
d) Hybridization

Answer 1

Behavioral isolation occurs when specific behavior prevents reproduction in species. For example, male fireflies use different light patterns to attract females, and if a male of one species tried to attract a female of another, the female would not recognize the light pattern and would not mate with the male.

Step-by-step explanation:

Behavioral isolation occurs when the presence or absence of a specific behavior prevents reproduction from taking place. For example, male fireflies use specific light patterns to attract females. Various species of fireflies display their lights differently. If a male of one species tried to attract the female of another, she would not recognize the light pattern and would not mate with the male.
