Detailed explanation-1: -Grand transformations in anatomy, phylogeny, ecology, and behavior-which usually take place in clades larger than a single species-are known as macroevolutionary patterns. The ways new species emerge through speciation, and the ways species disappear through extinction, are both examples of macroevolutionary patterns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Example of macroevolutionary patterns as they would appear in a phylogenetic tree, including extinctions, adaptive radiations, and stasis.

Detailed explanation-3: -These include major geologic events, climate changes, radiation of organisms into new habitats, changes in ecosystems, changes in continental positions, and major extinctions.
