Environmental changes

Answer 2

ok ty. why? @kobeni-chan

Answer 3

Environmental changes can result in different adaptions. It isn't 'rates of adaption' though , because adaptions over time are a result of environmental changes. For example, birds with small beaks might not thrive in an are with larger pieces of food, versus birds with larger beaks. The birds with larger beaks will survive, and pass on that trait.

Answer 4

rates of adaptation.
Adaptation in itself is the collective of changes in the population due to any factors such as genetic mutation and environmental changes.
