Answer:
Postzygotic isolating mechanism
Explanation:
Reproductive isolation can occur due to prezygotic or postzygotic isolating mechanism. Prezygotic mechanism prevents fertilization of gametes and can occur due to different mating behavior, different mating time period etc. Postzygotic mechanism occurs after the formation of zygote i.e. the organisms are able to mate and fertilization also occurs. However the resultant zygote may not survive. It might not survive immediately or might die before reaching the reproductive maturity. Such a situation would still come under reproductive isolation because the resultant offspring is not viable and not able to pass on the genes to the next generation.
Answer:
Ecological competition occurs when living organisms, including animals, plants, bacteria and fungi, need the same limited resources to thrive in their shared environment. An ecosystem could collapse if several species needed the same scarce resources to complete their life cycle. Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlap, they both try to use the same resource and the resource is in short supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.

Answer Explanation:
Due to technical difficulties, the answer and explanation for this problem are available in the attached file.
An estuary is an area where a freshwater river or stream meets the ocean. In estuaries, The salty ocean mixes with a fresh water river, resulting in brackish water. Brackish water is someone salty, but not as salty as the ocean. An estuary may also be called a bay, lagoon, sound, or slough.
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
