Changes in niches can cause the sympatric form of this process, which also exists in a peripatric type and was theorized to occur via "punctuated equilibrium."
This process can occur in angiosperms through polyploidy during hybridization, and one consequence of it is cladogenesis. Eldredge and Gould theorized that it occurs in periodic bursts following periods of stasis. Changes in niches can cause the sympatric form of this process, which also exists in a peripatric type and was theorized to occur via "punctuated equilibrium." The founder effect and geographic isolation caused the Galapagos finches to undergo the allopatric type of this process. For 10 points, name this process which occurs when two populations of organisms become unable to interbreed, creating new forms of a certain taxon.
