Answer

Pre zygotic isolation is more likely to occur in sympatry it is due to reinforcement as reinforcement model states that as the time of evolution post zygotic barriers arise first due to the isolation of population in divergence manner. If they rejoin again then they still interbreed between themselves but their hybrids have a lower fitness. So according to the selection for reproductive isolation so selection has been taken place which is reinforced in divergent direction.
