Premises:

Responses:

lineage that rapidly diversifies into several new species

exaptation

an evolutionary novelty that stems from an adaptation of an existing structure

stasis

an example of this is the evolutionary history of the coelacanth

coevolution

an example is flowering plants and their pollinators

adaptive radiation.

this often sets the stage for adaptive radiation

mass extinction.

often follows extinction or the exploitation of a new habitat by a new species

stasis.

an example of this is feathers that evolved for insulation in dinosaurs evolved that allowed flight in birds

adaptive radiation

simultaneous loss of many species

mass extinction

exaptation.
