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 discovery lead Charles Darwin to develop his theories on adaptation?
finches on the Galapagos islands, darwin noticed that on different island each beak of the finch was different depending on the food avalible on the different islands so darwin presumed that as each finch moved to these islands their beaks changed
Was Charles Darwin the first person to develop a theory of evolution?
Charles Darwin went to an island (Galapagos)where he studied the beaks of finches. He noticed that the although the birds were from the same species, they looked different. This is how he worked out that "Species change over time to adapt to their environment."
How did the finches help Darwin to formulate his theory of natural selection and evolution?
There were many islands and finches on each. The finches did not fly from their home island to other islands. Different islands had different food for the finches. Darwin noticed that where there were plenty of honeysuckle flowers for the birds to feed on, the finches there had long beaks. On islands where the best bird-food was small seeds, the finches had beaks more like canary beaks, short and strong. Darwin also noticed that the finches were all from the same original flock and had probably mixed up when the islands were closer together and they could fly to any island to feed. So Darwin concluded that when the finches became isolated on different islands, their beaks evolved to be most suitable for eating the food available. The birds with the wrong beaks died young and had few chicks and these chicks unfortunately for them inherited their parents silly beaks. The birds with the right beaks fed well and had lots of chicks who inherited good beaks. So eventually nearly all the finches on any given island had the most suitably shaped beaks.
How did Charles Darwin come up with his theories?
Charles Darwin had gone on his first voyage that took him to the Galapagos Islands. On that only isolated island he found 12 different kinds of finches- all with different beaks. Their habitats also differed according to their different beaks. Throughthese observations he came up with his theories.
2What is the name of the ship Charles Darwin traveled on to the Galapages Island?
H.M.S Beagle
What did Charles Darwin discover about the finches on gaplapagos island?
Answer
Where did charles darwin find finches?
On each island of the Galapagos Islands
How were embryos important to Darwin's research?
The embryos help Darwin find that finches came from the same ancestor which they go through phases of evolutions, this depends on the island the finches are located. Darwin discover that in different islands the beak from the finches were bigger hence stronger to crack difficult shells from plans, but in a different island finches have smaller beaks to get nectar from that plants. Darwin came to the conclusion that finches adapt from their environment.
What did Charles Darwin observe about finches on the galapagos islands?
That the finches were similar to the ones on the mainland, but had adapted to the island environment.
Had different shaped shells depending on the island they were from?
The Galapagos Islands. Charles Darwin discovered that the birds on the island, finches, had different beaks. The finch's beak varies from each island to help the finch eat the food they can find on the island
The species of finches that Charles Darwin found on the galapagos island displayed different stuctunal adapatations one of the adapatations Darwin noted was the what?
different shaped beaks
What discovery lead Charles Darwin to develop his theories on adaptation?
finches on the Galapagos islands, darwin noticed that on different island each beak of the finch was different depending on the food avalible on the different islands so darwin presumed that as each finch moved to these islands their beaks changed
What did Charles Darwin notice about the island animals of the galapagos island vs mainland animals?
The finches beaks all were different sized,shaped,and fuctions.
What observations did Charles Darwin make about finches in Galapagos island?
he saw that in the different places and things the finches ate made their beak a different size and shape to adapt to their surroundings
Where do Darwin's finches live?
All known species of Darwin's Finches are found on the Galápagos islands. With the exception of one, the Cocos Finch, which is found on the Cocos Island. Darwin's finches are not actually true finches. Darwin knew they weren't finches, but an ornithologist called Percy Lowe, later in 1936 incorrectly called them "Darwin's Finches" in a book, a term which unfortunately stuck.
Why were Darwin's galapagos finches so important to Darwin's theory?
It is thought that the finches have a common ancestor. Separated on different islands, each island eventually produced different finches.
How were Charles Darwin's finches isolated?
The finches were isolated by island, the many islands of the Galapagos archipelago, their distinctive beaks were adapted to the food available in their given locations, and all descended from a common finch.
