.A small moth pollinates native trees when they bloom in April. Some of the moths emerge in early March and discover a different
blooming shrub to use as a resource. This is an example of what, over time, could be ________. A) sympatric speciationB) allopatric speciationC) an invasive speciesD) an extinction for the original populationE) a change in age structure of the original population
Sympatric speciation is a type of geographic mode of speciation. It refers to the evolution of two or more than two new or descendant species from the existing common descent. The new species and the ancestral species all live in the same geographic area or location.
The common example of this speciation is insects like moths that become dependent on different plants belonging to the same geographical area.
