You will notice that some lineages (e.g. the descendants of species 56) branched many times and are represented by many living s
pecies. Discuss the ecological conditions that you think might result in the rapid diversification of some lineages. Use the caminalcules as examples. Think about what environmental conditions drove these particular caminalcules to evolve (A real world example would be the diversification of the mammals at the beginning of the Cenozoic, right after the dinosaurs went extinct.)
The environment selects the lineage which better fits their specializations in the available resources.
Explanation:
The possible motive that lineages demonstrated quickly diversification might happen because the environment contained the opportunities which the lineages took as an opportunity to evolve. The environment could have benefited some species rather than others which could lead to different specializations of different lineages. For example, after the downfall of the dominance of dinosaurs, mammals had a few new environments to evolve with new resources, this led to more lineage biodiversification.
A predator prey relationship is one in which interactions usually with consequential effects occurs between two different species. One species usually feed on the other. The species being fed on are the prey while the species being fed is the predator. In this context, the prey is the ant and the predator s are the ant lions.
