Choose the type of speciation pattern exhibited in this example: Among a species of shrimp in a single reef, larger individuals exhibit a preference for one type of sponge host while smaller individuals exhibit a preference for another.Medium-sized shrimp (offspring of large and small shrimp) do not fit well into either sponge host and have a high mortality rate, and overall adults choose mates that are similar to them in size.
