Scientists think that geographic isolation is a common way for the process of speciation to begin. Abstract sexual selection has been implicated as having a role in promoting speciation, as it should increase the rate of evolution of reproductive isolation, and there is some comparative evidence that sexual selection may be related to imbalances in clade size seen in resolved phylogenies. This mode of speciation has three distinguishing characteristics. For example, sympatric speciation can be driven by mutation and random drift and allopatric speciation can be driven by ecological factors. Speciation through hybridization hybrids can mate with siblings and backcross to their parents the result is a variety of hybrid gene combinations. Parapatric speciation thus occurs when a smaller population is isolated, usually at the periphery of a larger group, and becomes differentiated to the point of becoming a new species. Geographic isolation in the fruit fly example, some fruit fly larvae were washed up on an island, and speciation started because populations were prevented from interbreeding by geographic isolation.

Speciation data are developed through source testing by laboratories and research institutes, and are often published in journal articles. If certain of these combinations is best suited to a new habitat, a third species may arise that is genetically somewhere intermediate between the parents. Peripatric speciation it is a subform of allopatric speciation new species are formed in isolated, smaller peripheral populations that are prevented from exchanging genes with the main population. In general, when populations are physically separated, some reproductive isolation arises. Each profile in speciate is supplemented with metadata to document the source of data.
