Final answer:

Explaining how the extinction of Hawaiian honeycreepers could lead to speciation through adaptive radiation.


Explanation:

Speciation due to Available Niches: If the Hawaiian honeycreepers became extinct, the newly available niches could lead to speciation through adaptive radiation. This process involves one ancestral species diversifying into multiple species to fill different ecological niches, as seen with Darwin's finches and Hawaiian honeycreepers.
