Two Different Species of Pines Release Their Pollen at Different

Question

Two different species of pines release their pollen at different times. This is an example of:
A) behavioral isolation.
B) geographic isolation.
C) mechanical isolation.
D) temporal isolation.

Accepted Answer

Temporal isolation occurs when two species breed at different times, such as in this case where the two species of pines release their pollen at different times. This prevents interbreeding and helps maintain the separate identities of the species.
