The varying local conditions on each of the islands. Each group of finches was bred, through natural selection, to have the characteristics that would optimize finch survival on that island. For example, an island might have a unique food source, say a type of nut, so the finches that had more robust beaks and could break these nuts more easily got to eat more food, survived more often, and could provide for their young better, so over time they became more numerous on the island while the less fit ones declined in number until only finches with robust beaks were left. This is the basics of the idea.
they can be just born that way.
suborder: taxonomic group that is the subdivision of an order Hope this helps!
how does a key deer fit into a food chain where does it fit in
Answer this question… A rabbit in the Arctic has fur that blends in with snow.
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 classic example of adaptations is the finches living in the Galapagos Islands.
Geographical Distribution of living species supports evolution because, as species are split up along the planet, they endure changes which better help they adapt to their surroundings. An example of this is with the Finches in Darwin's studies on the Galapagos islands. They all came from the same breed of finch but branched off with different characteristics to survive on the different islands that they were surviving on.
A Macro Habitat is a Habitat fit for normally size animals not small creatures.
These finches looked just like any finches but by carefully watching and looking at them, it was noticed that they had slightly different shaped beaks. Each type of beaked finch was seen eating different foods than the other types were eating. They had adapted to fit into what is called a niche. One type ate only one type of food and another type ate only one other type of food. Their beaks were 'fitted' to eat that one food type.
Darwin realized after seeing a bunch of fossils (and the differences between the finches on the Galapagos Islands) that animals must be adapting to better fit their environments, and thus, becoming more diverse.

Charles Darwin did. He studied finches and their apperence and noticed some of them looked different. He came to the therory that the finches evolved to fit there needs to survive in different habitats.
they eat food and get it from alot of places
When they are young, the have instincts and just fit in!
He noted that their becks were different shapes and sizes to best fit the food that they ate.
He discovered that each finch in each diffrent island had a slightly diffrent beak adapted to its particular environment. For example, a fruit eater had a stout beak to pick berries off branches and a seed eater had a short, powerful bill for crushing seeds, etc. This contributed to his theory of evolution.
