For example, have allopatric populations of a parasitic species independently evolved egg or nestling mimicry of the same host species? |
Such barriers are some kind of geographic feature which isolates parts of populations, and leads to allopatric speciation. |
As the allopatric populations continue evolving independently, RIMs develop and morphological differences may arise. |
The two species have a largely allopatric altitudinal distribution on Hokkaido Island, Japan, proposed to be the result of temperature-mediated competition. |
Relatively large genetic distances between populations suggest long periods of isolation and allopatric speciation. |
Consequently, there is no need to invoke allopatric conditions to explain the patterns of variation seen in both the gall inducer and its inquiline beetle. |
