Definition

Glossary of "Plant Biology (1st ed.)" by Graham et al. (2003)

• The rapid evolution of a single species into many new species with different forms and habitats. Well-documented examples occur on island chains.

Glossary of "Evolution (3rd ed.)" by Futuyma (2013)

• Evolutionary divergence of members of a single phylogenetic lineage into a variety of different adaptive forms; usually tha taxa differ in the use of resources or habitats, and have diverged over a relatively short interval of geological time. The term evolutionary radiation describes a pattern of rapid diversification without assuming that the differences are adaptive.

Glossary of "Evolution (4th ed.)" by Futuyma & Kirkpatrick (2017)

• Evolutionary divergence of members of a single phylogenetic lineage into a variety of different adaptive forms; usually the taxa differ in the use of resources or habitats, and have diverged over a relatively short interval of geological time. The term evolutionary radiation describes a pattern of rapid diversification without assuming that the differences are adaptive.

Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)

• The process that occurs when a species enters a new habitat that has unoccupied niches and evolves into a group of new species, each adapted to one of these niches.
