Adaptive radiation
While mass extinctions are typically devastating for biodiversity and ecosystems, they can lead to some potential upsides. For instance, they create opportunities for the evolution of new species and the emergence of novel ecosystems, often resulting in increased biodiversity over geological timescales. Additionally, the removal of dominant species can allow for adaptive radiation, where surviving species fill ecological niches and drive innovation in traits and behaviors. However, these processes take millions of years, and the immediate consequences of mass extinction are overwhelmingly negative for existing life forms.
The Earth has a history of sharp climactic shifts.Each results in extinctions, a reduction in overall biomass and increased pressures to adapt to the altered environment. The crises resolve to periods where biomass increases, opportunities in novel and open niches become available, and new species have an opportunity to expand their populations in the more friendly environment ---- ur welcome
No, Triffids do not occur in real life. They are an entirely fictional species of plant, imagined by John Wyndham in his 1951 novel "The Day of the Triffids".
Most polyploid plants arise as a result of hybridization between two different species or through spontaneous chromosome doubling within a single species. This leads to an increase in the number of chromosome sets, which can result in novel genetic variation and potentially enhanced traits such as increased vigor or adaptability.

Adaptive radiation is the evolution of a new species in a relatively short period of time. When many species share a single ancestor. burst of diversification of a group of organisms into an array of niches. ADAPTIVE CAUSES: • After mass extinction: - Reptile radiation after P-Tr - Mammal radiation after K-T • Novel environment: - Sweepstakes routes • Evolutionary transition: - Conquest of land, air • Removal of a barrier - Return of more oxygenated conditions • Key Innovation - Examples: Flight, pharyngeal jaws

The science fiction novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle is about an invasion of Earth by an alien species named the Fithp .
Macroevolution is evolution on a scale of separated gene pools. Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes
Correct. In the original novel it was an unnamed Dogfish- a species of Shark!

The TV show was adapted from the movie, which was adapted from the novel by the same name.
