Why are organisms grouped in clusters separated by phenotypic gaps?
Darwin sums it up:
"Firstly, why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of species being, as we see them, well defined?” - Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
Why are there species?

“It is clear that arguments [about species concepts] will persist for years to come, but equally clear that, like barnacles on a whale, their main effect is to retard slightly the progress of the field.” Coyne (1992)
“Given the recent pace of new proposals, each evolutionary biologist may soon have his or her own definition of species.” Schemske (2000)
“It is as if on one hand we know just what ‘species’ means, and on the other hand, we have no idea what it means.” Hey (2001)

Biological Species Concept (BSC)
Ernst Mayr
Every naturalist and every evolutionist is awed by the diversity of living nature. One cannot help asking oneself why there are so many species. Indeed, why are there species at all? Why is not the organic world a single continuity? Why has nature, and more precisely natural selection, favored the discontinuities among the species? What is the meaning of species? The answer the evolutionist gives to these questions is the Biological Species Concept.

1) Pre-mating isolating mechanisms a) Temporal isolation. Individuals of different species do not mate because they are active at different times of day or in different seasons. b) Ecological isolation. Individuals mate in their preferred habitat, and therefore do not meet individuals of other species with different ecological preferences. c) Behavioral isolation. Potential mates meet, but choose members of their own species. d) Mechanical isolation. Copulation is attempted, but transfer of sperm does not take place.2) Post-mating isolating mechanisms a) Gametic incompatibility. Sperm transfer takes place, but egg is not fertilized. b) Zygotic mortality. Egg is fertilized, but zygote does not develop. c) Hybrid inviability. Hybrid embryo forms, but of reduced viability. d) Hybrid sterility. Hybrid is viable, but resulting adult is sterile. e) Hybrid breakdown. First generation (F1) hybrids are viable and fertile, but further hybrid generations (F2 and backcrosses) may be inviable or sterile.Alternative: contrast pre-zygotic isolation (items 1+ 2a above) with post-zygotic isolation (2b-2e)
