The explosive adaptive radiation of mammals was most likely a result of what?
Adaptive radiation is usually caused by the appearance of a very useful adaptation or the appearance of a new niche in an ecological community. Both contributed to mammals' adaptive radiation. They evolved molars with four cusps, which increased their potential diet. They were insulated by fur, allowing them to survive colder areas and colder times. And the non-avian dinosaurs became extinct, allowing mammals to take their place as the (on average) largest and most dominant organisms in many ecosystems. ---------------------- PLATO USERS D) Both A and B
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.
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. "

Why a species is most likely to undergo adaptive radiation?
A species is most likely to undergo adaptive radiation when it colonizes a new region with diverse ecological niches that are unoccupied by competitors. This creates opportunities for the species to exploit different resources and adapt to various environments, leading to rapid diversification and the evolution of multiple distinct species.
What does explosive?
It's not an English word. EXPLOSIVE means that it produces an explosion, or a sudden burst of power, like radiation and heat and force; able or likely to shatter violently or burst apart, as when a bomb explodes.
Discuss how polymorphism in the cnidarians might have influenced adaptive radiation of the group?
Polymorphism influences adaptive radiation of the cnidarians due to the fact that alternation of their forms between medusae and polyps allows the ability to find the best fit in any environment.
Some parasitic leeches are attracted by warmth What type of host would you expect such leeches to have and what would be the adaptive advantage of this attraction?
Leeches attracted to warmth are likely to parasitize warm-blooded hosts, such as mammals. The adaptive advantage of this attraction is that warm-blooded hosts provide a stable environment with a constant temperature that helps leeches maintain their metabolic activities and ensures a steady food supply.
Can a beetle live through an nuclear explosion?
Maybe, insects have a higher LD50 for ionizing radiation than mammals do. However close in the blast or thermal flash are very likely to kill them.
Do mammals use internal reproduction?
yes mammals do use internal reproduction as they are more likely to survive longer as they are less likely to be eaten.
What effects of continental drift would you predict to be most likely to result in a new adaptive radiation following the Permian extinction?
Following the Permian extinction, if there was significant continental drift, the separation of previously connected landmasses would create new isolated habitats. This geographic isolation could lead to adaptive radiation as different species evolve independently to fill the new ecological niches available in their specific environments. The increased diversity of organisms adapting to the unique conditions of each habitat could drive a new wave of speciation.
If the water content of magma is high?
an explosive eruption is more likely.
