Darwin’s finches on the Galapagos Islands are a group of species of finches. One of the major features noted is the variation in beak depth. We spent some time talking about the variation in the ground finch population and how that changed overtime and how that change corresponded to changes in environmental conditions, which affected food item characteristics and abundance. The changes in beak depth over time is a result of… a. natural selection b. gene flow c. sexual selection d. artificial selection
