Hi! I was wondering if someone could explain how to find a percent of a large number. I think you're supposed to multiply a number by a decimal, but I don't remember. Please give an example and no links. Thanks so much!

Yes, you're correct.

An example would be, say, 345. You want to find 60%. So you multiply 345 by 0.60.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
