Conditions that could make a new island a likely place for adaptive radiation would include being near a mainland so organisms can migrate as well as geographic isolation which prevents the splinter populations from breeding with the parent population on the mainland.

∙ 11y agoA single species arrives on an island archipelago, such as a single bird species. The niches for this particular bird species are much more numerous than where the bird came from. Due to the variation in the bird population, mutation and the myriad niches, this one species branches out and becomes morphologically and behaviorally many species filling these many niches on all the islands of the archipelago.

Which form of speciation is most rapid A. sympatric speciation via character displacement B. allopatric speciation on the island archipelagos C. sympatric speciation via autopolyploidy D. allopa?
B. Allopactric speciation on island archipelagos. As the organisms move from island to island rapid speciation is observed because of variations in resource acquisition more than just variation in environment. Amplified radiation is observed. Example is finches on the Galapagos Islands. Hawaii also gives this example.

What plants live on Antelope Island?
there are a variety. lots of long grasses. wildflowers. etc its in utah Antelope Island is the largest island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. A variety of plants call the Island home, and these can be divided into four main habitat areas. The grasslands hold many exotic and introduced species, including mullen and cheatgrass. There is also greasewood, inkweed, and tumbleweed. Prairie sunflowers are found all over the Island. The shorelines hold a variety of short plants, including saltgrass and pickleweed. Much of the Island is covered in woody shrubs such as rubber rabbitbrush and mountain sage. The soils are shallow and rocky, and getting plants to take hold is difficult. Much of the island was overgrazed in the early days, so it has been taken over by invasive species. There are a few trees, mainly juniper, in the areas around the fresh water springs. A beautiful cottonwood grove stands by the ranch area, where the largest spring on the Island is. Plants anywhere near the water are adapted to high salt conditions.

Describe how new species of Galàpagos finches may have formed?
By adaptive radiation. The original finch emigrated to the Galapagos Islands and found many different environments and feeding opportunities per individual Island. So, under this new selection pressure and the random mutational variation all species have, many new species of finch arose on all the various Islands of the Galapagos.
How did the galapagos finch get to the galapagos islands?
These special Birds called "Darwin's or Galapagos Finches" have special adaptations to various habitats were important evidence considered by Charles Darwin in formulating the theory of evolution; they are a striking example of adaptive radiation. They evolved because of their surroundings, the beaks their ancestors had couldn't function properly on the island.
What is it called when the sun heats a metal surface?
study island answer: radiation
When does convergent evolution occur?
Divergent evolution occurs when a single species develops a certain trait and then diverges to become two different species. Compare this to convergent evolution, where two different species develop a similar trait.

Which islands in Hawaii produce coffee?
Can be grown on any island. Conditions best Kona. Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island also have areas which provide all the conditions required. Malokai however, has no areas which provide all of the conditions.
Give an example of evolution?
An example of adaptive radiation is Darwin finches, found in Galapagos Island. A large variety of finches is present in Galapagos Island that arose from a single species, which reached this land accidentally. As a result, many new species have evolved, diverged, and adapted to occupy new habitats. These finches have developed different eating habits and different types of beaks to suit their feeding habits.
How do the different sides of the island effect his hope of rescue?
One side of the island is uninhabitable due to its rough sea conditions. Boats are unlikely to be traveling past this side of the island due to its conditions and Ralph see's this.
