Gradualism is a pattern of evolution in which. a. a single species evolves into several closely related species. b. several distantly related species develop similarities. c. a species evolves at a slow, steady pace. d. a species has periods of little evolution interrupted by periods of rapid evolution.

they each offer a fresh glut of resources to the organisms that can arrive and exploit them. as individuals and new species continue to appear, they actively and passively alter the environment. competition for shared resources increases, local abiotic and biotic conditions shift, and the relative abundances of species change accordingly. the process is called ecological succession, and it is one of the earliest and most well-known concepts in ecology.
