About 3 million years ago, the Isthmus of Panama a narrow strip of land connecting North and South America) formed, divid marine organisms into Pacific and Caribbean populations. Researchers have examined species of snapping shrimp on both sid isthmus. Based on the morphospecies concept, there appeared to be seven pairs of species, with one species of each pair in the Pacific and the other in the Caribbean. The different species pairs live at somewhat different depths in the ocean. Using mitochondrial DNA sequences, the researchers estimated phylogenies and found that each of these species pairs, separated
by the isthmus, were indeed each other's closest relatives. The researchers investigated mating in the lab and found that many species pairs were not very interested in courting with each other, and any that did mate almost never produced fertile offspring.

-The sister populations on opposite sides of the isthmus are true species under which species concept?
