Sympatric Speciation Parapatric Speciation

 sympatric speciation occurs when a  Parapatric speciation is speciation


reproductive barrier is created by that occurs because of variations in
something other than geographical the frequency of mating in a
isolation (intrinsic population that occupies the same
mechanism),namely by a area. In this model, the parent
reproductively isolation mechanism species lives in a continuous habitat
without geographic isolation.
