The process of evolution of different species in a given geographical habitat starting from a point and radiating to other geographical areas (habitats) is called adaptive radiation.
.
When more than one adaptive radiation appeared to have performed in an isolated geographical area that is representing different habitats, is known as convergent evolution.
.
Placental mammals that are present in Australia also exhibit adaptive radiation in evolving into varieties of such placental mammals each of which appears to be ‘similar’ to a corresponding marsupials.
