Which outcome occurs when adaptive radiation takes place within a newly formed volcanic island ecosystem?

💡 Explanation

Adaptive radiation involves the rapid diversification of a species into new ecological niches, because the absence of competitors allows exploitation of previously unavailable resources; therefore, rapid divergence into novel niches is the outcome, rather than reduced diversity or speciation.
