Individuals are more likely to mate with their geographic neighbors than with individuals in a. Peripatric speciation peripatric speciation occurs when a small group of individuals break off of the main group to form a new species. Since peripatric speciation resembles allopatric speciation, in that populations are isolated and prevented from exchanging genes, it can often be difficult to distinguish between them.
