Adaptive radiation is a term used in evolutionary biology. It is
a process in which organisms diversify rapidly in to new forms.
This happens mostly when a change in the environment make new
resources available.

An apatemyid is a member of the Apatemyidae family of animals,
which took part in the first placental evolutionary radiation
together with other early mammals.

Extinction events, such as the Permian extinction and the KT
extinction event. You have adaptive radiation driving evolutionary
change after such events.
Adaptive radiation is one good explanation for rapid
evolutionary change. When a dominant taxa goes extinct, such as the
dinosaurs, the surviving species/taxa, such as the mammals have
many niches that they can now fill, so any variation in individuals
against immediate environments can lead to survival and
reproductive advantages that translate into rapid allelic changes
in populations; rapid evolutionary change.

The evolutionary adaptations of an animal help it to survive.
