Which is adaptive radiation as demonstrated by the finch specimens that Darwin found in the galapagos an example of?

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.

∙ 14y agoThey 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.

The finches that Darwin studied in the Galapagos islands have evolved with different types of beaks drilling cracking tearing and fishing This is an example of?
Adaptive radiation
The varieties of beak structures among galapagos finches is a good example of?
i just took the pennfoster test and the correct answer is, A adaptive radiation...hope i helped u out!!!
What is an adaptive zone?
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.
Mass extinctions create conditions that promote?
Adaptive Radiation
What is the production of several species from one ancestral species called?
adaptive radiation =)
What type of adaptation is shown by the varieties of beak structures among galapagos finches?
adaptive radiation
An example of adaptive radiation is seen in?
The finches on Galapagos Islands. Marsupials provide another example.
The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?
Adaptive Radiation :)
Darwin believed that the various species of finches on the Galapagos Islands came from one common ancestor He believed they evolved by?
adaptive radiation
The finches that Darwin studied in the Galapagos islands have evolved with different types of beaks drilling cracking tearing and fishing This is an example of?
Adaptive radiation
What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?
Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.

i just took the pennfoster test and the correct answer is, A adaptive radiation...hope i helped u out!!!
Rapid speciation under conditions in which there is little competition?
adaptive radiation
What happens in adaptive radiation?
Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
What is an adaptive zone?
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.
The Galapagos finch species is an excellent example of?
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.
How did the galapagos finch get to the galapagos islands?
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.
