Divergent Evolution:
Divergent evolution occurs when two or more species with a common ancestor evolve different traits and adapt to different ecological niches. Over time, these differences can lead to the formation of new species. Divergent evolution is often observed in adaptive radiation events, where species diversify rapidly to exploit various ecological opportunities. An example is the finches of the Galapagos Islands, which evolved different beak shapes to exploit different food sources.
