Adaptive radiation is the process by which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available. After the extinction of dinosaurs, mammals had new ecological niches available, leading to their diversification, which is an example of adaptive radiation. Breeding a horse with a donkey is hybridization. One - species overthrowing another is not adaptive radiation.
