During the class, we examined the evolution of frog species. After the construction of a highway, at year 5000 (L12&13 Species Concepts and Speciation in class, Slide 34), the population at the right side of the highway and the population at the left side of the highway evolved into two new species. What mode of speciation-- allopatric or sympatric--led to these two frog species? Provide your reasoning making reference to the information that you know about these organisms.

Question
During the class, we examined the evolution
of frog species. After the construction of a
highway, at year 5000 (L12&13 Species
Concepts and Speciation in class, Slide 34),
the population at the right side of the
highway and the population at the left side
of the highway evolved into two new
species. What mode of speciation--
allopatric or sympatric-- led to these two
frog species? Provide your reasoning
making reference to the information that
you know about these organisms.
