Famously Charles Darwin studied some finches that he collected when he visited the Galapagos Islands during his voyage on the Beagle. He preserved the specimens he had collected and studied them when he returned to England. He used his observations of the variations in these finches as part of his evidence supporting his theory of evolution.
He also studied the breeding of pigeons and domestic poultry.

What type of field guide would be easiest and most efficient to use?
The type of field guide you choose will depend on what information you want to have with you. If you are watching birds, then you want a field guide that shows you pictures of different birds.
What was Darwin's primary mission on the HMS Beagle?
The HMS Beagle was a British survey ship that set off on five-year expedition to collect hydrographic, geologic, and meteorologic data from South America and many other regions around the world. 22-year old Charles Darwin joined the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist.
Introduction about type study method?
There are many introductions you could write about the study type method. You could say that the study type method is effective and why it is effective.

Finches on the galapagos had different shaped?
Darwin observed that small birds on the Galapagos islands differed in the shape of their beaks.The seeds that were left on the island were harder so the birds beaks evolved and became stronger and harder.
What type of birds live in the galapagos islands?
A very rare species of mocking birds.
What type of scientists study birds?
Ornithologists
What unusual information did Darwin collect about the galapagos finches on his voyage?
Every type of bird was a finch, but the genetics of each bird was different on every island :)
What type of reason was used to develop the evolutionary theory?
Charles Darwin was one of the first influential scientists to support the evolution theory. On his voyages he came across the Galapagos islands which had a group of birds. He noticed that although these birds were of the same species at first, that they having been separated across the islands, developed different characteristics and soon were no longer able to interbreed. This was the start of the theory of evolution for Charles Darwin as he explained their change of characteristics by saying that they evolved.
What type of science is an ornithologist?
Study of birds ,their habits and habitat.
What type of speciation occurred among the Galapagos Islands finches?
The type of speciation that occurred among the Galapagos Islands finches is called "allopatric" speciation. Allopatric comes from roots meaning "other country". The immigrant finches, and many other birds and animals, were very isolated from other populations of the same species on the individual Galapagos Islands. The finches developed into at least 13 different species of finch on the islands.
What type of government do the galapagos islands have?
what kind of government does the galapagos islands have
Which feature of galapagos finches was important to Darwin in developing his theory of natural selection?
Darwin noticed that the finches in the Galapagos Islands had different types of beaks. He concluded that this meant they must have evolved these beaks, so that each type could find food.
What do you call a scientist who studies birds?
He/she is an ornithologist.Someone that studies birds is called an ornithologist.An ornothologist
How are finches in the Galapagos is lands a good example of adaptation?
These birds, although nearly identical in all other ways to mainland finches, had different beaks. Their beaks had adapted to the type of food they ate in order to fill different niches on the Galapagos Islands. Their isolation on the islands over long periods of time made them undergo speciation (form new species).Darwin wrote about his travels in the book The Voyage of the Beagle and fully explored the information he gained from the Galapagos Finches in his most famous book On the Origin of Species.It was in that publication that he first discussed how species changed over time.
