Geographical Isolation (Allopatric Speciation) & Occurs due to the formation of physical barriers that prevent gene flow between the two populations.

The two populations become genetically different that they become two separate species. \tn

Niche Differentiation (Sympatric Speciation) & Occurs when the gene flow between members of a populations is restricted due to ecological isolation. Some individuals may be better and adapted to a slightly different habitat in an ecosystem and begin to specialize in that habitat. \tn
