21. Many species became extinct during the Permian and there was a burst of adaptive radiation during the Jurassic. 22. Much research has been done on adaptive radiation due to its dramatic effects on the diversity of a population. 23. A single colonizing ancestor often changed or developed into many new endemic species; this is known as adaptive radiation . 24. Their diversity is the result of an adaptive radiation on these plants, whose cyanide-based defenses the bugs have overcome. 25. These fishes represent a remarkable adaptive radiation of offshore and deep-water adapted fish descended from ancestral shallow water forms. 26. The palila, one of several endangered honeycreepers that evolved through adaptive radiation and are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. 27. There are other animals and plants on the Hawaiian archipelago which have undergone similar, if less spectacular, adaptive radiations . 28. Great examples of speciation come from the observations of island biogeography and the process of adaptive radiation , both explained previously. 29. Together, these three species represent a recent adaptive radiation , each having moved into a difference niche within their specialized environment. 30. He conducted research, including several publications with Jonathan Losos, on the phylogeny and adaptive radiation of " Anolis " lizards.
