b) they may be affected by events that occur too rarely to be observed in short-term studies.
c) changing environmental conditions may affect these long-term trends by changing the operation of evolutionary processes.
d) different descendant lineages from the same ancestor may exhibit different long-term patterns.
e) all of the above are true: none is false
