A visual metaphor for meme evolution comparing 2010s rage comics to modern Wojak variants through the lens of biological speciation.

A three-part diagram using internet memes to illustrate ecological concepts. The first part, 'Extant ecological community', shows a variety of classic rage comics (Trollface, Derp, Forever Alone). The second, 'Mass extinction', shows only Trollface and Wojak remaining. The third, 'Survivors refill vacant environmental niches through speciation', shows a new community dominated by various modern Wojak and Trollface variations.
