The introduction of a new species into an area with diverse habitats and abundant resources but no natural predators can lead to adaptive radiation. This is because the absence of predators allows the species to occupy multiple niches without competition or predation pressure, leading to the evolution of different adaptations and new species. Extinctions can also occur if the new species outcompetes or preys upon native species, but adaptive radiation is a more likely outcome. Mechanical incompatibility, limited speciation, and temporal isolation are not relevant to this scenario.
