A. temporal isolation
B. behavioral isolation
C. geographical isolation

Gentoo and Emperor penguins demonstrate behavioral isolation through their unique courtship behaviors, such as pebble presentation and specific calls, respectively. This type of isolation occurs due to differences in mating rituals that prevent different species from interbreeding. Understanding these concepts is essential in the study of reproductive isolation mechanisms. ;
