... that the timing of reproduction (such as breeding season in animals or the timing of flowering in plants) can cause the formation of a new species in a process known as allochronic speciation? Coyne & Orr (2004)
ALT2: ... that the timing of flowering or breeding seasons in organisms can cause the formation of new species in a process known as allochronic speciation? Coyne & Orr (2004)

Excellent! Looks good to me. jp×g 18:22, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
Returned from prep per discussion at WT:DYK#Allochronic speciation. The ALT1 is incorrectly phrased and the ALT0 reads like a textbook entry. Please suggest a different hook. Yoninah (talk) 00:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
We didn't have a page on allochronic speciation?
ALT3: ... that an Inurois moth species is allochronically speciating into early and late winter species due to it being too cold to breed mid-winter?
Hmm so I just wanted to say that while all the new hooks sound good, I would personally vote for the April Fool's version. That one is so witty! --LordPeterII (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Honestly, I’d have to agree. All the DYKs I submit are speciation-based, so why not have one happen for a unique day? Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 10:26, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Yoninah, then would you approve ALT5 for April's Fool? Since this was returned from prep I don't know who should approve. --LordPeterII (talk) 00:21, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Yoninah hasn't been active lately so another editor may need to sign off the idea. @JPxG:? Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 11:05, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
ALT1 is really fascinating to me, personally (it's backed up by the article and the sources, right?) But the author seems to think the joke one is good, so we can just run with that one then. jp×g 03:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
I also like Alt1 but it was struck for some reason. It's one of the most cited and most studied examples in allochrony, so it definitely is relevant. I'm okay with it or the April Fool's one. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 23:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
I'm willing to approve ALT5, I just need the relevant sentence and source to be specified so I can try verification (or if it's an offline source, approve under AGF). Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 06:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
I wrote it as a generic summary, but would "Allochrony can involve a number of factors that induce the formation of a new species...Many organisms also breed at different times of the day, different seasons in the year, and even over multiple years or decades." sourced to [1]"Allochrony can act over different timescales – over the day, between seasons or between years – and clearly can automatically result in assortative mating...64 case studies were found, of which nine appear to be true or incipient allochronic speciation (in bold in Table S1) and a further eight may be true allochronic divergence but further study is needed..." suffice?

I think this suffices well. It alines with the source well. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 23:16, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I think there is some consensus here to go with ALT5 for April Fools. It's based on the article wordings, and it has been verified in the provided source. As such this is now good to go. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 03:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Is there something specific that needs to be done to get it ready for April Fools? Sorry, I’m not familiar with all the functions DYK. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 05:53, 29 March 2021 (UTC) Oops, I did not notice it was already placed there! Disregard. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 05:56, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
I think the one about cicadas and 221-year cycles is much more interesting, but either could be fine. jp×g 05:12, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
