Parapatric speciation
Parapatric speciation is a form of speciation in which the evolution of reproductive isolating mechanisms occurs when a population enters a new niche or habitat within the range of the parent species. Generally, this occurs when there has been a drastic change to the environment within the original species' habitat.
