Imagine you are an ecologist studying two species of frogs in the same wetland. Species X has a mating call that only operates at low frequencies, while Species Y produces a call at high frequencies. Additionally, Species X is nocturnal, while Species Y is active during the day. a. Identify and explain the types of pre-zygotic barriers that are likely preventing these two species from interbreeding. Provide specific examples from the scenario to support your answer. (3 marks) b. Propose one potential example of a founder effect that could further influence the genetic divergence of these two species over time. Use and describe the appropriate terminology from class. (2 marks)
