What are some species that have evolved different physical characteristics due to different environments?
The Finch and the Giant Tortoise on the Galapagos islands.
How geometric isolalation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the galapagos island?
Geometric isolation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the Galapagos Island due to the concept of diversification.
What are the species that have got endangered due to destruction of forests?

What is an analogous trait?
An analogous trait is a characteristic or similarity that evolved separately from a common ancestor, even if said trait serves the same function in different species. One example of this trait would be wings, which are common to birds, insects and bats, despite being very different creatures. Biologists tell us that these traits evolved in this way due to the prevalence of similar ecological environments where these specimens are found.
What animal did Darwin watch on the galapagos island?
Charles Darwin watched and studied many animals well on the Galapagos Islands, But the most talked about is a species of bird referred to as Finches. This is the bird that led to Darwin being credited with the theory of evolution by natural selection. These finches probably descended from one type of ancestor and then, due to isolation and through chance, different climates and natural forces such as food availability and type, they evolved into thirteen different types of finches. The process of their evolution would probably have begun with immigrants from the mainland. As they dispersed to different islands, new populations would be formed. Every time these satellite populations dispersed, there would be greater difference between the individual species.
What are two examples of species that evolved due to geographic isolation?
Galapagos finches (Darwin's finches)
How is speciation and reproductive isolation related?
Reproductive isolation is a type of speciation. Reproductive isolation is when a species divides forming two subspecies, due to different mating periods.
How can isolation of groups be involved in speciation?
Isolation of groups can lead to speciation when it results in reproductive barriers that prevent gene flow between populations. This can occur through geographic isolation (allopatric speciation), ecological isolation (sympatric speciation), or behavioral isolation. Over time, genetic divergence can accumulate, leading to the formation of new species.
Are yetties and big foot the same?
As in all biological systems big foot and yeti share a common ancestry that has diverged due to their mutual isolation due to geographic factors. Big Foot is the North American species Yeti is the Central Asian species. The two may be divergent by more than just species as they have been isolated a very long time. However we do not have enough evidence to properly assign a gradation.
What are parapatric species?
Species that arise due to genetic isolation such as the carrion crow (Corvus corone corone) and the hooded crow (C. c. cornix)
Why were different languages invented?
Language developed from a necessity to communicate with other humans. The reason we have different languages is because they developed separately due to geographic isolation.
What are some species that have evolved different physical characteristics due to different environments?
The Finch and the Giant Tortoise on the Galapagos islands.
How geometric isolalation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the galapagos island?
Geometric isolation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the Galapagos Island due to the concept of diversification.
Can you please put isolation in a sentence?
Due to the nature of the disease the patient was put into isolation.
Why has hemispheric specialization evolved?
It evolved due to neuroplasticity.
How a specie can change over time?
accumulation of variations and natural selection, i.e. survival of the fittest also speciation (creation of a new species due to reproductive isolation)
Give you a sentence using the word temporal Isolation?
Temporal isolation is genetic isolation achieved due to temporal differences in breeding
