INDUSTRIAL ISOLATION. 1 19 



same is true of the cyclical isolation between two broods of the period- 

 ical cicada when occupying the same district.* As each brood lives 

 nearly seventeen years burrowing in the ground, and then spends the 

 few last weeks of its allotted life above ground breeding in the trees, it 

 never has a chance to cross with the other brood, whose time for breed- 

 ing comes on another year, and each seventeenth year thereafter.! 

 Industrial isolation and migrational isolation, so far as they are deter- 

 mined by diversity in the habits or instincts of the members of the 

 species, must also be classed as forms of endonomic isolation. 



Heteronomic isolation. — In the four remaining lorms of environal 

 isolation, namely, transportational, geological, fertilizational, and 

 artificial isolation, heteronomic influences must prevail. 



3. Industrial Isolation. 



Industrial isolation is isolation arising from the activities by which 

 the organism protects itself against adverse influences in the environ- 

 ment, or by which it finds and appropriates special resources in the 

 environment. 



The different forms of industrial isolation are sustentational, pro- 

 tectional, and nidificational isolation. 



For the production of industrial isolation it is necessary that there 

 should be, in the same environment, a diversity of fully and of approx- 

 imately available resources more or less separated, and in the organ- 

 ism some diversity of adaptation to these resources, accompanied by 

 powers of search and of discrimination, by which it is able to find the 

 resources for which it is best fitted and to adhere to the same when 

 found. 



The relation in which these causes stand to each other and through 

 which they produce segregation may be described as separation 

 according to endowment produced by endeavor according to endow- 

 ment. From the nature of the process it produces segregation; for 

 those of like aptitudes are brought together. 



It is evident that if initial variation presents in any case a diversity 

 of adaptations to surrounding resources that can not be followed 

 without separating those differently endowed, we shall have, in the 

 very nature of such variation, a cause of segregation and of divergent 

 evolution. Some sUght variation in the digestive powers of a few 

 individuals makes it possible for them to live exclusively on some abun-
