Crosses between female horses and male donkeys produce mules. Gene flow between the gene pools of horses and donkeys is prevented byI. hybrid sterility.II. a pre-zygotic isolating mechanism.III. a post-zygotic isolating mechanism.

Interspecific competition occurs between morphologically similar warblers (small insectivorous birds that nest in North America) and is apparently minimized by unique species-specific foraging patterns. Each species spends most of its time foraging in a different portion of the trees frequented by all species. This behavior is an example of
