What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?
Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.
How does an adaptive radiation lead to recovery of biodiversity after a mass extinction?
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 happened after plant first became able to live on land?
Adaptive radiation spread them into many land niches
After plants moved to land what happnend?
adaptive radiation formed mant new land plant species
Is rapid diversification into new species that occupy novel niches?
Adaptive radiation
How long does it take for adaptive radiation to rebuild biodiversity following a mass extinction?
10 million
Which event is the most likely to cause for the four periods when punctuated equilibrium seems to have occurred?
Extinction events, such as the Permian extinction and the KT extinction event. You have adaptive radiation driving evolutionary change after such events. Google " the rise of the mammals. "
Can you describe condition that makes it possible for a species to undergo adaptive radiation?
When the dinosaurs went extinct the mammals that were living alongside the dinosaurs underwent massive adaptive radiation. Large extinction events can give rise to niche openings for species that go through the extinction event.
The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?
Adaptive Radiation :)

Rapid speciation under conditions in which there is little competition?
adaptive radiation
What happens in adaptive radiation?
Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
What is an adaptive zone?
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.
Adaptive radiation is likely to produce several to many?
Adaptive Radiation is likely to produce a cluster of species in a short period of time.
Divergent evolution is also known as?
Adaptive radiation
