A species of lizards migrates to a group of islands in the ocean. Over time, they diversified and evolved into several different species. Each species has a unique jaw shape that allows it to eat its own specific diet. This is an example of:

-Gradualism because one species evolved into several different species over a relatively short amount of time.

-Adaptive radiation because one species evolved into several different forms that occupy different niches.

-Coevolution because the evolving lizard species changed in order to interact with the changing environment.

-Convergent evolut
