Adjective
(of biological species or speciation) occurring in areas isolated geographically from one another

In the experiment, the snails were infected by their sympatric parasites, allopatric parasites and mixed sources of parasites. Source: Internet
Petren, Grant, Grant, and Keller proposed that the speciation of the finches occurred in two parts: an initial, easily observable allopatric event followed by a less clear sympatric event. Source: Internet

If most evolution happens in these rare instances of allopatric speciation then evidence of gradual evolution in the fossil record should be rare. Source: Internet
Phylogenetic analysis relies on the concept of derived characteristics that are not shared between groups, usually applying to populations that are allopatric (geographically separated) and therefore discretely bounded. Source: Internet
