temporal isolationorganisms reproducing at different times
vestigialapparently useless features

coevolutionthe change of 2 or more species in close association with each other
convergent evolutionoccurs when the environment selects similar phenotypes
divergent evolution2 or more related populations or species become more and more dissimilar
adaptive radiationmany related species evolove from a single ancestral species
artificial selectionbreeding of organisms by humans for specific characteristics
