Definition. Adaptive radiation refers to the adaptation (via genetic mutation) of an organism which enables it to successfully spread, or radiate, into other environments. Adaptive radiation leads to speciation and is only used to describe living organisms.

Answer:

Biodiversity resulting from few ancestors. The adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process in which diversification is appearing among a species, and it starts to fill in different ecological niches.
