Detailed explanation-1: -Behavioral isolation is a mechanism in which organisms of the same species develop differing mating and courtship rituals over time due to a number of environmental factors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Different mating rituals can lead to isolation. One example is birds singing different songs to attract mates. Other examples include different preferences in breeding calls, mating dances, and pheromones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Behavioral isolation occurs when mismatches in mating traits (signals and/or preferences) prevent mating between two species/populations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Behavioral isolation occurs when two populations that are capable of interbreeding develop differences in courtship rituals or other behaviors. Geographic isolation occurs when two populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water.
Detailed explanation-5: -For example, a child who is inappropriately touched by an adult may slap that adult. In this instance, the act of slapping is a Behavioural Barrier that is functional. It is not physical aggression.
