Darwin's finches were the result of adaptive radiation. One species coming to the Galapagos Islands radiated throughout all the Islands becoming many species fulling many different niches. Another example is the demise of the dinosaurs. Mammals radiated out from small, general beginnings to fill all the niches left by the extinct dinosaurs.

adaptive radiation
What kind of radiation is referred to as adaptive?
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.
