The finches beak sizes changed, depending on their environment and what kind of food they ate. The finches were relatively isolated on the islands, making them the perfect example of microevolution (change within a kind). This is not, however, evidence for macroevolution (change from one kind of animal to another), as the finches did not change into another animal, but simply had different sized beaks.
They were the same species of bird, but depending on which of the Galapagos Islands they lived on, they had different beaks. Some were short and powerful for cracking nuts on nut rich islands, and others were long and thin for pulling insects out of tree bark in insect infested islands.
The sad thing is, becasue of global tourism, they are dying out.
specialization, or maybe diversification, or maybe you are looking for evolution.
one species being perfectly adapted to many habitats
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS ANSWER is now CORRECT :) - - "cCc??!"
for plato users, it's C. (: -breebree.<3
divergent evolution
adaptive radiation
speciation
Adaptive radiation
i just took the pennfoster test and the correct answer is, A adaptive radiation...hope i helped u out!!!
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.

The finches on Galapagos Islands. Marsupials provide another example.

Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.

adaptive radiation
Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.
The Galapagos finches were studied extensively by Charles Darwin and were instrumental in his theory of evolution. They show adaptive radiation, meaning they evolved to fit different niches in their habitat.
These special Birds called "Darwin's or Galapagos Finches" have special adaptations to various habitats were important evidence considered by Charles Darwin in formulating the theory of evolution; they are a striking example of adaptive radiation. They evolved because of their surroundings, the beaks their ancestors had couldn't function properly on the island.
