Description: The Central Valley in California prevents two the salamander population from interacting with each other which is a habitat isolation. After many generations the two salamander gene pools will become mutated caused by natural selection. The mutation will change the DNA sequence of the two populations enough that the the salamander populations can no longer successfully breed between each other making the populations of salamander become classified as different species.
