The classic example of this is Darwin's Finches on the Galapagos Islands.
Isolation and different feeding opportunities on the islands allowed natural selection to act upon the original finch population. The result was a set of related, but appropriately adapted finch populations.

Another example is the marsupials of Australia. Niches that, in other places, would be filled by placental mammals are filled by marsupials.
