11. Linares later studied'adaptive radiation 'in prehistoric populations in Western Panama. 12. However, more research is needed, especially to fully understand the many factors affecting adaptive radiation . 13. Hypotheses such as adaptive radiation from a single ancestral taxon cannot be falsified with cladistics. 14. The mass extinction created many open niches for Antarctic notothenioids to colonize, triggering adaptive radiation . 15. This occurred alongside the adaptive radiation of mammals, following the extinction of ( non-avian ) dinosaurs. 16. For this reason, they have been described as " an excellent example of adaptive radiation ". 17. Endemism is often the result of adaptive radiation . 18. They used to flourish in the Tethys Sea and underwent a widespread adaptive radiation in the Cenozoic. 19. They argue furthermore that because of this phenomenon, many phylogenies of so-called adaptive radiations will remain unresolved. 20. The diversification of Calisto is referred to as an example of adaptive radiation into contrasting habitat types.
