Expert Solution

Step 1

Adaptive radiation was discovered by Charles Darwin. Adaptive radiation is the result of environmental changes in a particular area. Factors responsible for adaptive radiation are, formation of new habitat like volcano formation in the land, isolation of species from the main habitat land or the availability of abundant resources in the new land. All these factors led to the formation of new species.
