Now consider a situation in which the environment the vole mothers during pregnancy changes, such that voles born in the Fall now have thin coats. Assume in this case that the Winters are still cold. This scenario provides an example of which of the following hypotheses? a.Environment mismatch hypothesis b.Endocrine disruptor hypothesis c.Thrifty genotype hypothesis d.Plasticity first hypothesis

An island of the Galápagos archipelago is home to a medium ground finch that subsists mainly by eating seeds. A severe drought struck the island. During the drought, plants produced fewer seeds, and the finches soon depleted the stock of small and soft seeds, leaving only large and hard seeds that were difficult to process. In this environment, finches with deeper beaks were more likely to survive and pass their advantageous traits to their offspring by means of the principle called the 'inheritance of acquired characteristics'.
