Species that have been isolated from each other for a long time can often produce highly viable hybrids, but there is no longer any potential gene flow between these species. Why? Postmating prezygotic isolation prevents gene flow through gametic isolation. The F1 hybrids of these species are completely sterile. The F2 hybrids are somewhat inviable. Changes in behavior reduce mating of each species with the F1 hybrids.
