Speciation - The creation of a new biological species., Convergent Evolution - Two different species become more and more similar over a long period of time due to the environment applying the same selection pressures (For example Birds and Bats both developing wings for flight), Divergent Evolution - Different selection pressures are applied to isolated populations of a common ancestor and new species evolve. , Adaptive Radiation - A type of Divergent evolution where one species results in many species that are adapted to a variety of environments (for example Darwin's Finches), Coevolution - The evolution of one organism can sometimes occur in response to another organism (for example birds evolving specialised beaks to obtain nectar from a flower with a particular shape). , Adaptation - A characteristic that helps an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment., Variation - A range of different phenotypes in a population due to large genetic diversity., Selection Pressure - A force that favours organisms with advantageous genes,
