Abstract
In this chapter, observations on the degree of isolation of several species investigated in the main study area near Halle are presented. Isolation may be viewed on different spatial and temporal scales. Sufficiently large periods of time and low gene flow assumed, isolation is an essential factor in the evolution of species and subspecies. Besides spatial isolation, isolation is also caused by biological attributes of the organisms such as differences in diurnal and seasonal activity periods, intraspecific communication, or hosts (Mayr 1967).
