Temporal Isolation
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Temporal isolation is a prezygotic barrier in which two populations breed at different times, so individuals never encounter each other's fertile period.
Show
Two related frog species sharing an area but breeding in different months never overlap in their fertile periods, a temporal barrier.
Watch for
Temporal isolation blocks reproduction by timing alone — the populations may otherwise fully interbreed if timing matched.
