Adaptive radiation often occurs after a mass extinction. If you were examining fossil beds and found evidence of the rapid appearance of new species in an apparent adaptive radiation event, could you conclude that a mass extinction had occurred?
A)
(1 point)
yes because the presence of adaptive radiation means that there must have been newly vacated niches to
yes because the appearance of new species aways means that adaptive ractation has occured, and no further data is needed to answer that particular question
no because speciation and adaptive radiation can occur for other reasons, such as substantial environmental changes, you would need to examine caller fonts to know more
no tricause there is not enough evidence to know whether speciation occurred
