Allopatric_speciation_caused_by_topography.svg


Summary

Description
English: Allopatric speciation can result from elevational topography. Climatic changes can drive species into altitudinal zones, isolating populations.

1: Higher elevation peaks act as "islands" to promote speciation.

2: Lower elevation valleys act as "islands" to promote speciation. [1]
