1. When new species form.2. When a group is separated from the rest of its species.3. When members of the isolated group can no longer mate with the rest of species.
Prisoners used to be punished by isolation with being put in the "hole" for 30 days.Prolonged isolation affects mental and emotional well-being.Children subjected to isolation develop severe social problems.
Geographic isolation.
Droplet isolation
This condition may refer to either geographic isolation, where populations are separated by physical barriers, or reproductive isolation, where individuals are unable to interbreed successfully. Geographic isolation can lead to reproductive isolation over time as populations differentiate in isolation.
Strict isolation is when a person is highly contagious and need to be kept in isolation from everyone. This is to help protect others from acquiring the virus, disease, etc. Until the Doctors determine what it may be and/or the patient recovers completely.
