Temporal reproductive isolation occurs when two species breed at different times, preventing them from hybridizing even if they occupy the same habitat. An excellent example of this is found in certain species of frogs.
For instance, the Spring Peepers and the Western Chorus Frogs live in the same geographic area but breed during different seasons. The Spring Peepers typically breed in early spring, while Western Chorus Frogs breed from late spring to early summer. Because their breeding seasons do not overlap, these species do not interbreed, which helps to maintain their distinct genetic identities.
