Adaptive radiation


adaptive radiation
The evolution from a relatively primitive and unspecialized type of organism to several divergent forms specialized to fit numerous distinct and diverse ways of life, as occurred in Darwin's finches or the marsupials of Australia.

Adaptive radiation often occurs when a species is introduced to a new ecosystem, or when a species can survive in an environment that was unreachable before.
