Suppose that two populations of venomous snakes are undergoing sympatric speciation. Arrange the events that lead to a speciation. The hunting preference of the initial species is placed first in the process. A snake species eats only mice, which forage on the forest floor.

Answer Bank
Some individuals begin to show a preference for
birds, which nest in trees.
The snake species forms two new species: one
that hunts on the forest floor and one that hunts
in trees.
Different hunting behaviors separate individuals
that hunt on the ground from those that hunt
in trees.
With the entrenchment of hunting behaviors,
mating between forest hunters and tree
hunters decreases.
Genetic drift and natural selection reinforce the
differences between forest hunters and
tree hunters.
