There are at least 500 known species living in three small lakes. Over time, specialized teeth and body colorations have evolved for each species in response to mutations and competition for food and mates. This change over time is an example of ADAPTIVE RADIATION. Adaptive radiation by definition, is <span>the diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.</span>
