I think it is Puncuated Equilibrium. I am not sure.
No Punctuated Evolution is a period of stasis where no changes occur followed by sudden rapid change.
It is Divergent
It is when different lineages, stemming from a common ancestor, adapt in different directions. We see clear examples of this wherever closely related species inhabit different niches in the same region.
Adaptive radiation or divergent evolution is the process by which a single species or small group of species evolves into several different forms that live in different ways. A characteristic is rapid growth in the diversity of a group of organisms.
Adaptive radiation is one of the examples of divergent evolution. While divergent evolution can be one ancestor diverging into 2, 3, or even more species, adaptive radiation is the kind of divergent evolution when one species diverges into multiple, instead of just 2, species.
T he diversification of one or a few species into a varied group of descendants.
A form of cladogenesis, or divergent evolution.
Adaptive radiation.
Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.
Allopatric speciation.Allopactric speciation. Geographic isolation. Adaptive radiation can also result from geographic isolation.
Better known as "adaptive radiation", it is independent evolution from a population of a species that has become geographically isolated from its parent population.
Convergent evolution may be the words you seek. This often happens when different species have to adapt to a similar environment. An example would be the similar body shape, and the shape of appendages; of both fish and of marine mammals.

yes
They are a classic example of adaptive radiation. Most of the animals on the Islands are from South America and came to the Islands, diversified into many species which inhabit different Islands in the chain. The finches and tortoises are the best example of this adaptive radiation; just evolution over time.
A radiation event. Called adaptive radiation.
Adaptive Radiation :)
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.

The evolution of numerous species, such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor is called adaptive radiation.
