behavioral adaptation
adaptive radiation
geographic isolation
population explosion

This example illustrates adaptive radiation

Adaptive radiation is a process in which closely related organisms that evolves from an ancestral species become more diverse, and separate to form new groups that are adapted to various niches with specialized modes of life. Adaptive radiation occurs as a result of changes in the environment and may create many new niches, new resources, or new problems.
