No natural barriers - gene flow is not obstructed among populations.
organisms can easily leave or enter the ecosystem - immigration provides a steady gene flow from outside of the ecosystem which easily flows throughout because of the lack of barriers.

These create a system that has high rates of gene flow in and out as well as throughout. These properties are not conducive to speciation because genetic isoloation (whether reproductive or ecological) is what causes speciation events.
