A effet, two of the best known examples of “ sympatric speciation ”, cichlids of Lake Victoria and horseshoe bats of Wallace, suggest that the sensory ecology (how an animal perceives and interacts with its environment) plays a major role in the speciation process, that the populations are geographically isolated or not . However, in these studies, researchers were unable to study the factors involved in the early stages of the process of speciation .
En effet, mbili ya mifano bora maalumu ya “sympatric speciation”, cichlids ya Ziwa Victoria na popo farasi wa Wallace, zinaonyesha kwamba ikolojia hisia (jinsi mnyama anatambua na interacts na mazingira yake) ina jukumu kubwa katika mchakato wa speciation, kwamba idadi ya kijiografia wametengwa au. Hata hivyo, katika haya masomo, watafiti walikuwa hawawezi kusoma mambo ya kushiriki katika hatua za mwanzo za mchakato wa speciation.
