Abstract
It is argued that geographical, topographical, and ecological isolation represent different degrees of spatial isolation and that learned habitat preferences are more important isolating mechanisms than previously supposed. A number of cases in both birds and insects are discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
