== Models == === Peripatric === Peripatric speciation models are identical to models of [[vicariance]] (allopatric speciation).<ref name="Speciation"/>{{rp|105}} Requiring both geographic separation and time, speciation can result as a predictable byproduct.<ref>{{Citation |title=Theory and speciation |author=Michael Turelli, Nicholas H.

The size of a population is important because individuals colonizing a new habitat likely contain only a small sample of the genetic variation of the original population. This promotes divergence due to strong selective pressures, leading to the rapid [[Fixation (population genetics)|fixation]] of an [[allele]] within the descendant population. This gives rise to the potential for genetic incompatibilities to [[evolution|evolve]]. These incompatibilities cause [[reproductive isolation]], giving rise to—sometimes rapid—speciation events.<ref name="Speciation"/>{{rp|105}} Furthermore, two important predictions are invoked, namely that geological or climatic changes cause populations to become locally fragmented (or regionally when considering allopatric speciation), and that an isolated population's reproductive traits evolve enough as to prevent interbreeding upon potential [[secondary contact]].<ref name="ST2007">{{Citation |title=Song divergence at the edge of Amazonia: an empirical test of the peripatric speciation model |author=Nathalie Seddon & Joseph A.

During the contraction phase, fragments of the population become isolated as small [[Refugium (population biology)|refugial]] populations on the periphery of the central population. Because of the large size and potentially greater genetic variation within the central population, [[mutation]]s arise more readily. These mutations are left in the isolated peripheral populations, promoting reproductive isolation. Consequently, Brown suggested that during another expansion phase, the central population would overwhelm the peripheral populations, hindering speciation. However, if the species finds a specialized ecological niche, the two may coexist.<ref name="DJH">{{cite book |author=Daniel J.

Over time, choosy females are selected against and there is an increase in frequency of less choosy females resulting in a shift in the gene frequency of the population. Such a condition result in a "destabilized" genetic condition allowing new genetic variants to arise. Novel variants that are better adapted to the new habitat will be selected and over time the genetic makeup of the peripatric population may be different enough to become reproductively isolated from the old one.]] The Kaneshiro Model also provides an explanation of the mechanism of speciation during founder events as proposed by Ernst Mayr and Hampton Carson. In most cases, founder events result when single fertilized female is accidentally translocated to an entirely different location, e.g., an adjacent island among a chain of islands such as the Hawaiian Archipelago, and produces a few offspring. Such a founder colony is faced with extremely small population size which as described by the Kaneshiro Model, experiences a shift in the mating system towards and increase in frequency of less choosy females. The resulting destabilization of the genetic system provides the milieu for new genetic variants to arise providing the recipe for speciation to occur. Eventually, a growth in population size paired with novel [[Mating preferences#Female mate preferences|female mate preferences]] will give rise to reproductive isolation from the main population-thereby completing the speciation process.<ref name=KYK1980/> Support for this model comes from experiments and observation of species that exhibit asymmetric mating patterns such as the [[Hawaiian Drosophila|Hawaiian ''Drosophila'']] species<ref>{{Citation |title=Sexual selection and direction of evolution in the biosystematics of Hawaiian Drosophilidae |author=Kenneth Y.
