____ isolation occurs when two or more species reproduce at different times.
A
Behavioral
B
Substantial
C
Temporal
D
Geographic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Temporal isolation happens when two or more species reproduce at different times. For example, three species of orchid live in the same rain forest. Each species has flowers that last only one day and must be pollinated on that day to produce seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -temporal isolation, in biology, a type of reproductive isolation mechanism among sexual organisms in which the differences in the timing of critical reproductive events prevent members of closely related species, which could otherwise breed with one another, from mating and producing hybrid offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Being temporally isolated makes it less likely for two populations to reproduce. This leads to speciation since the two populations are not sharing any genes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two species might reproduce at different times of the day or year and thus be unlikely to meet up when seeking mates. This is called temporal isolation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Temporal isolation prevents species from interbreeding due to differences in the timing of mating or fertility, such as having different mating seasons. Behavioral isolation prevents species from interbreeding due to a difference in mating rituals or behaviors.
