14 different species all originating from one common ancestor that is thought to have it's origin in the Caribbean and not the main land of South America as once thought, there are Warbler finches, they divide into 2 insect eating species called, the Green Warbler finch and the Gray Warbler Finch. The seed eater is the Sharp-beaked ground finch and a bud eater called the Vegetarian Finch. Another group is Tree Finches that divide into Insect Eaters, the Mangrove Finch, Woodpecker Finch, Medium Tree Finch, Small Tree Finch and Large Tree Finch. And the last group is the Ground Finches that divide into 2 groups the first is the cactus flower-eaters which are Large Cactus Ground Finch and the Cactus Ground Finch. The second sub group is the Seed Eaters, Small ground Finch, Medium Ground Finch and the Large Ground Finch.

What were the environmental changes that led to the demise of many species of finch?

The demise of many finch species, particularly those in the Galápagos Islands, was primarily driven by environmental changes such as climate fluctuations and habitat loss. These changes disrupted food availability and nesting sites, leading to increased competition among species. Additionally, extreme weather events, like droughts, further stressed populations by reducing the resources necessary for survival. As a result, many finch species were unable to adapt quickly enough to the rapidly changing conditions, leading to their decline or extinction.

What species of finch have a beak longer than 15mm?

The species of finch with a beak longer than 15mm includes the Geospiza conirostris, commonly known as the sharp-beaked ground finch. This finch is notable for its elongated beak, which is adapted for feeding on tough seeds and other plant material. Other similar species, such as the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis) and the large ground finch (Geospiza magnirostris), may also have beaks approaching or exceeding this length, depending on their specific adaptations and environmental conditions.


Describe how new species of Galàpagos finches may have formed?

By adaptive radiation. The original finch emigrated to the Galapagos Islands and found many different environments and feeding opportunities per individual Island. So, under this new selection pressure and the random mutational variation all species have, many new species of finch arose on all the various Islands of the Galapagos.
