Answer

Habitat isolation: two species do not come in contact due to differences in preferred habitat. Behavioral isolation: special behavior or signals that attracts mates, such as courtship dances. Temporal isolation: two populations that breed during different times of day or year. Mechanical isolation: two species are separated because their reproducing organs are not physically compatible. Gametic isolation: if the gametes of different species meet, they do not fuse to form a viable zygote.
