Habitat isolation, in which two different species occupy different habitats (e. g. one lives in the forest canopy, while the other lives among the vines of a rain forest) is an example of a (n) :

Speciation

Explanation:

When two species live in different habitats is called ecological isolation or habitat isolation. The two species can interbreed but they are not likely to meet each other. For example one species occupy forest canopy, while the other lives among the vines of a rain forest. This is an example of prezygotic barrier of speciation.
