Receptor distribution: behavioral diff depends on diff in receptor diff, prairie: receptors much wider, montane: diffusion less and smaller amounts. Don t have the right receptors in the right place. Mechanisms of bonding ii: mutable: can have two closely related species that have diverged completely in mating system.
