What will be an ideal response? Title: Why do we expect that postzygotic isolation will evolutionarily precede prezygotic isolation in the ...

Natural selection should act to reduce this waste by favoring, for example, mate recognition signals or spatial or temporal partitioning that prevent such matings in the first place.
