Best Answer

Adaptive radiation is the evolution of many diverse species from a common ancestor. After a mass extinction those individuals that were able to survive no longer have competition so they are able to colonize new habitats and occupy open niches. The individuals will undergo allopatirc and sympatirc speciation events, producing species that are not found elsewhere.

What is a smart recovery thermostat exactly does it lock out the heat strip?

Adaptive Recovery/ Smart Recovery features - control features that senses the amount of time it will take to reach the next set-point temperature, and reach desired temperatures by the set time.[1]Smart Recovery makes sure your system delivers the temperature you want at the time you want it. [2]When it's time for a programmed temperature change, smart recovery begins working in advance, turning the system on and off as needed to slowly adjust the indoor temperature.[3]References:1- http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=thermostats.pr_thermostats_features2-http://www.totalcomfortfl.com/thermost.htm3- http://reo.ucsc.edu/offcampusfacilities/2901/1zonestat.pdf
