Isolation can be due to behavioral, geographical, or temporal barriers. <span>Speciation can take place in two general ways. A single species may change over time into a new form that is different enough to be considered a new species. This process is known as anagenesis. More commonly, a species may become split into two groups that no longer share the same gene pool. This process is known as cladogenesis. There are several ways in which anagenesis and cladogenesis may take place. In all cases, reproductive isolation occurs. Hope this helps! </span>

An organism's niche includes all of these except: a. the space an organism requires. b. the timing of an organism's reproduction
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

c. the specific geographical location where an organism lives.

Explanation:

The ecological niche of an organism includes the habitat where it lives and its place in the community with respect to the other species. It includes various adaptations present in the organism to survive in prevailing conditions, its interaction with other biotic factors of the system, and the pattern of consumption of available resources. Therefore, the ecological niche of an organism defines the space occupied and its functional role in the community irrespective of the type of biome. It does not take account of its geographical location on the earth.
