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.

The galapagos finch species are an excellent example of what?
Genetic isolation. This occurs when members of species that also occur on mainland areas begin to evolve slightly different habits and appearances.
The evolutionary pattern illustrated by the finch species on the galapagos islands is an example of what?
divergent evolution i think
The evolutionary pattern illustrated by the finch species on the Galapagos Islands is an example of?
Divergent Evolution Pvt Locklear was here ;)
What explains the distribution of finch species on the Galapagos Islands?
They had descended with modification from a common mainland ancestor.
Did Darwin first believe that each finch he found was a different species was he right or wrong?
right
What island did Charles Darwin go to discover finches?
Since Darwin found many species of plants he found many species of finches. Those species, just like the warbler finch, were found on the Galapagos Islands.
What are some species that have evolved different physical characteristics due to different environments?
The Finch and the Giant Tortoise on the Galapagos islands.
What way are the different finch species of Galapagos island adapted to the different environment on the island?
Pineapples and waffles......also bacon
What birds are on the galapagos islands?
Finch
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.
How is the different finch species in the Galapagos an example of geographic isolation?
In order for one to find this answer one should look into some National Geographic books. Another way to find this answer would be to ask a biology professor.
What process most likely could account for the diversity of finch species on the Galapagos Islands?
Puncutated equilibrium - sudden spurts of growth in a species BOOM- fluent- BOOOM etc,
