Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of temporal isolation: Temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation where two species breed at different times, preventing them from interbreeding.
Identify the examples given in the problem: The examples include birds with different mating calls, fish with different courtship behaviors, frogs breeding at different times, and insects living in different habitats.
Analyze each example: Determine which example involves a difference in timing. Temporal isolation specifically refers to differences in breeding times.
Focus on the example of frogs: The example states that two species of frogs breed at different times of the year, which directly relates to temporal isolation.
Conclude that the example of frogs breeding at different times is the correct representation of temporal isolation in speciation.
