Understand the concept of prezygotic reproductive barriers: These are mechanisms that prevent mating or fertilization between different species, occurring before the formation of a zygote.
Identify the types of prezygotic barriers: Common types include mechanical isolation, temporal isolation, and behavioral isolation.
Mechanical isolation occurs when differences in physical structures prevent successful mating between species.
Temporal isolation happens when species breed at different times, such as different seasons or times of day, preventing them from mating.
Behavioral isolation involves differences in mating behaviors or rituals that prevent species from recognizing each other as potential mates.
