A rain forest is a highly complex habitat with organisms living at various levels in the trees, on the ground, and underground. Is it possible to consider two populations of insects living in the same tree to be geographically isolated?

1) No, because if they are in the same square acre, they cannot be considered geographically isolated

2) Yes, because there are so many habitats in one tree that the populations may never interact.

3) Yes, because insects only undergo allopatric speciation, and there are many species of insects.

4) No, because if they are in the same tree, they are in the same geographic area.

Answer: Yes, because there are so many habitats in one tree that the populations may never interact
