The Grants studied finches on the Galapagos Islands for many years, focusing on the effect of types of food on the size and shape of the finches' beaks. The finches had speciated based on the foods they found available, with some species feeding on large seeds, some on small seeds, and some on other foods. In years with drought in which some foods were scarce, they found that different beak sizes were advantageous than in a wetter year, causing a change in the average beak size seen in the populations. This is important because it is an example of natural selection occurring on a scale that we can easily observe.
there beaks change depending on what type of year it is if it a dry year there beaks are strong and big but wet year they are small and fragile
I don't know mfer's need effin help round here!
Haphazard Selection is procedure of selecting a sample of individuals to study by taking whoever is available or happens to be first on a list.
Natural Selection Natural Selection Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations. Charles Darwin popularised the term "natural selection", contrasting it with artificial selection, which in his view is intentional, whereas natural selection is not.
Scientists use many different things to study microevolution. One tool they use is called Mendel's Accountant, which allows realistic numerical simulation of the mutation/selection process.
Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life. Paleozoology is the study of prehistoric animals. Paleobotany is the study of prehistoric plants.
Charles Darwin contributed to the evolutionary theory through study of natural selection.

He formulated the principle of natural selection, intersexual selection and intrasexual selection which all contributed to the study of evolution.

natural selection study island sucks.
Charles Darwin expanded a common theory of evolution by noting the course of natural selection. He was able to study the categorization of plants and animals species and the beginning of genetics.
