1.You will notice that some lineages (e. g. the descendants of species) branched many times and are represented by many living species. Discuss the ecological conditions that you think might result in the rapid diversification of some lineages (A real world example would be the diversification of the mammals at the beginning of the Cenozoic, right after the dinosaurs went extinct.)

Lack of food sources, the lack of habitat, competition and evolving ways to compete.

Explanation:

Lack of food sources, the lack of habitat, competition and evolving ways to compete are the ecological conditions that is responsible for the rapid diversity of some lineages. With the passage of time, changes occurs in the lineages due to climate change which causes some species to extinct and some to evolve which attains adaptability to the environment. Due to climate change food is unavailable to the organisms which is the main cause of its extinction.

youre right there are
