In the context of biological evolution, temporal isolation refers to a type of reproductive isolation where different species mate or flower at different times, preventing them from interbreeding.
An example of temporal isolation from the options provided is:
- flowers that bloom in different months
In this scenario, if two species of flowers bloom in separate months, they would not be able to cross-pollinate because their flowering times do not overlap. This temporal difference acts as a barrier to reproduction between the two species, contributing to their isolation and eventual divergence.
