  1. allopatry

    Allopatry is a term in biological and ecological studies referring to a situation where two or more groups or species, which are capable of interbreeding, are geographically separated in such a way that they can no longer freely exchange genes. These distinct groups are often subjected to differing environmental conditions which can lead to evolutionary divergence and potentially speciation. The mechanism behind this is called allopatric speciation.
