Adaptive Radiation revisited
An adaptive radiation produces---5

Niche – all aspects of a species’ interface with the biotic and abiotic world around them (i.e. activity schedule, preferred diet and feeding ecology, predator-prey relationships, social behavior, and more)

Each NWM subfamily has a general shared niche with niche overlap/competitive exclusion among members of the subfamily which gives rise to more narrowly defined, discrete niches for individual species
(1) multiple descendent lineages, from a (2)single common ancestor, which occupy (3) distinctive niches. Both the(4) potential and the (5) opportunity for radiation are important components of the process.
