Increase in taxonomic diversity or morphological disparity
Not to be confused with Adaptive radiation.
Evolutionary radiations during the Phanerozoic.
An evolutionary radiation is an increase in taxonomic diversity that is caused by elevated rates of speciation,[1] that may or may not be associated with an increase in morphological disparity.[2] A significantly large and diverse radiation within a relatively short geologic time scale (e.g. a period or epoch) is often referred to as an explosion. Radiations may affect one clade or many, and be rapid or gradual; where they are rapid, and driven by a single lineage's adaptation to their environment, they are termed adaptive radiations.[3]
