If the length between points on a map is 5 inches, 7 inches, and 9 inches, and the scale is one inch equals 5 miles, find the distances in miles. 1, 1.5. and 1.8 miles 10, 12, and 14 miles 25, 35 and 45 miles

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
