The correct sequence is:
founding population arrives → biogeographic isolation occurs → genetic changes occur → reproductive isolation results.
Explanation: A small group colonizes a new area (founding event) and becomes geographically isolated from the main population. Over time genetic changes (mutation, drift, natural selection) accumulate, eventually producing reproductive isolation (speciation).
