Does the geography alone can trigger life history adaptation?

Here the geography represent vicariance events that correspond to a rupture of gene flow of an ancestral single population/species. Does anyone can think of any processes by which such vicariance event alone (without change in habitats or ecology) can induce changes in life history traits such as reproductive startegy, dispersal ability etc.
Any ideas?
