Adaptive radiation

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Darwin's finches are a classic example of $Adaptive 	ext{ } radiation$. Adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, creates new challenges, or opens new environmental niches. In the case of Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands, a single ancestral species of finch arrived on the islands and subsequently evolved into different species with varied beak shapes to exploit different food sources, representing a clear case of adaptive radiation.
