  1. Natural selection that favors individuals at both extremes of the phenotypic range, leading to the maintenance of genetic and phenotypic diversity within a population.
  2. The theory that evolution occurs slowly and steadily, shaping the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of populations over long periods of time.
  3. The physical separation of members of a population leading to reproductive isolation, often resulting in the divergence of gene pools and the formation of new species.
  4. Reproductive isolation based on differences in behavior or mating rituals, leading to the formation of distinct species through the prevention of gene flow.
