    This is the example of behavioral isolation

    Explanation:

    Behavioral isolation is seen between same species where this type of isolation prevents mating and leads to speciation.

    This isolation prevents species that diverge from interbreeding thus they lo longer able to mate with each other.

    Behavioral isolation occur when two populations with capability of interbreeding develops different courtship rituals.

    Difference in mating creates extreme reproductive barrier that isolate same similar species.

    The behavior of both sexes are interlinked and are synchronized in time.

    In some times, morphological difference also takes place which ultimately leads to behavioral isolation and thus no mating takes place.
