Question

Where would a researcher most likely find examples of allopatric speciation?
A) in the surface waters of Lake Michigan
B) in a forest on the west side of Lake Michigan
C) in a forest on the east side of Lake Michigan
D) in forests on the east and west sides of Lake Michigan

Allopatric speciation occurs when populations of a species are geographically separated, leading to the evolution of distinct species. Forests on both the east and west sides of Lake Michigan are geographically separated by the lake, providing conditions conducive to allopatric speciation.
