Correct Transcript:

Well, there are many factors that can cause one species to divide into two. One of these is when populations get isolated from each other by something like a lake forming or forest being cleared. And there's another idea that as individuals adapt to their environment, this might have a knock-on effect on mate choice, a process called sensory drive speciation. Now this seems to occur in cichlid fish. They have shown that a female preference for either red or blue striped males only exists in clear water, where they are actually able to see.

Printed "diverge", the speaker says "divide"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "cause one species to divide". Click "diverge", it is printed but not what you hear.

Printed "lagoon", the speaker says "lake"

Explanation: The speaker says "something like a lake forming", not "lagoon". Click "lagoon", the spoken word is much shorter so listen to the whole word.

Printed "impact", the speaker says "effect"

Explanation: Listen for "a knock-on effect on". The printed word is "impact", and they start with different letters.

Printed "sensitive", the speaker says "sensory"

Explanation: You will hear "called sensory drive". Click "sensitive", both words start with the same first letter so wait for the end.

Printed "clean", the speaker says "clear"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "exists in clear water". Both words start with the same first letter, so listen to the whole word.

"forest" matches the audio

Explanation: "forest being cleared" looks like a long phrase and may catch your eye. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"cichlid" matches the audio

Explanation: "occur in cichlid fish" has a rare name that may seem wrong at first. The speaker also says it exactly, so do not click it.
