    How do natural selection and adaptive radiation differ?

    Question #68334. Asked by niale. (Jul 16 06 11:32 PM)

    		Adaptive radiation is the progressive diversification of a species into two or more species as groups adapt to different environments. Natural selection is usually the principle mechanism driving adaptive radiation.
