Adaptive Radiation Adaptive radiation occurs most often in new environment with a variety of different unfilled niches so that plants and animals that are not adapted to those areas can exploit the resources in the respective niches. Once individuals begin exploiting the new niches‚ mutations that will benefit the species will spread throughout the population via natural selection giving the owners an overwhelming advantage over others without the mutation and throughout evolutionary time
