Detailed explanation-1: -One possible cause of divergent evolution is migration. When species migrates to a new habitat, it is confronted with new environmental conditions, and, therefore, it tends to evolve novel traits that make it better adapted to its new habitat. The evolution of the so-called Darwin finches is an example.
Detailed explanation-2: -Evolution is the process by which species adapt over time in response to their changing environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Changing environmental conditions can cause strong selective pressure, often affecting a variety of critical ecological and life history traits (including species interactions and community structure). This can induce species to evolve rapidly, leading to genetic and phenotypic shifts in a matter of generations.
