1) Adaptive radiation is the type of divergent evolution.In this a group of organism quickly diverges into new species. 2) Divergent evolution is that in which members of a species converts into two or more species resulting in different species. 3) Convergent evolution is that in which organism are not closely related but they independently evolves similar characters to survive in the environment or niche.

The differences are as follows:

Explanation:

  • 1)The adaptive radiation is a process in which the species change their forms by specifically adapting to the new niche whereas, the divergent evolution is the process by the groups of the species generally having the same common ancestor evolve and they accumulate the differences. This results in development of new species.
  • 2) In convergent evolution the organisms of the different species which used to had a different origin and structure shows functional similarities due to the change in the niche, whereas in the adaptive radiation the organisms change their forms for adapting the new niche.
