Impeding different species from attempting to mate.

Preventing the successful completion of mating.

Hindering fertilization if mating is successful.

Prezygotic barriers maintain reproductive isolation and include:

Temporal, Habitat, Behavioral, Mechanical, and Gamete Isolation.

Habitat isolation: Two species encounter each other rarely, or not at all, because they occupy different habitats, even though not isolated by physical barriers.

Temporal Isolation: Species that breed at different times of the day, different seasons, or different years cannot mix their gametes.

Temporal Isolation: Species that breed at different times of the day, different seasons, or different years cannot mix their gametes.

Behavioral isolation: Courtship rituals and other behaviors unique to a species are effective barriers.

Mechanical isolation: Morphological differences can prevent successful mating.

Gametic isolation: Sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize eggs of another species.

Postzygotic barriers prevent the hybrid zygote from developing into a viable, fertile adult:

Reduced hybrid viability -- weak offspring

Reduced hybrid fertility -- sterile offspring
