Question

biogeography often reveals _ evolution, where related species evolve in diverse environments.
convergent evolution demonstrates how different species evolve similar traits due to similar _ pressures.
the movement of continents and species dispersal contribute to biogeographic patterns, reflecting historical relationships and among species in isolated regions.

Explanation:

1. Biogeography often reveals adaptive evolution where related species evolve in diverse environments as they adapt to local conditions.
2. Convergent evolution occurs when different species evolve similar traits due to similar environmental pressures, like how wings evolved in birds and bats because of the need to fly in air - an environmental factor.
3. The movement of continents and species dispersal contribute to biogeographic patterns, reflecting historical relationships and divergence among species in isolated regions. As continents move and species become isolated, they diverge genetically and phenotypically over time.

Answer:

1. adaptive
2. environmental
3. divergence
