This can happen when some individuals try out a new niche, e.g. some fruit flies decided to start eating apples instead of bananas as many of their peers did.
Allopatric (allo=other, patric=place) Speciation. This refers to speciation by geographic isolation. During this mode, a group of organisms are split into two or more due to extrinsic changes such as mountain building or habitat fragmentation, which prevent regular mating between subgroups. Peripatric (peri=near, patric=place) Speciation. This is a special version of allopatric speciation where one of the subgroup have very few individuals. In this small subgroup, rare genes that happen to be carried by the subgroup members are more likely to be passed down and populated, resulting in a change of the gene frequency in the future generations. Accumulation of such changes eventually make it a different species from its ancestor (i.e. cannot mate and make reprodu). This is sometimes known as the founder effect. Parapatric (para=beside, patric=place) Speciation. In parapatric speciation there is no specific extrinsic barrier to gene flow, but the mating behavior itself is NOT random. Individuals are more likely to mate with their geographic neighbors. This also results in a reduced gene flow within the population. Varied gene frequencies leads to varied selection pressure and gradually new species form even if there is no geographic barriers. Sympatric (sym=same, patric=place) Speciation. This I think is the most drastic type of speciation. It does not require large-scale geographic change or distance. It happens to members in the same group living in the same place. This can happen when some individuals try out a new niche, e.g. some fruit flies decided to start eating apples instead of bananas as many of their peers did. It can also happen when some internal changes occur that significantly alter some individuals, e.g. polyploidization (increase of chromosome numbers) in some individuals will inhibit them from mating with peers of different chromosome numbers. This happens mostly in plants.
