The different finches have different shaped beaks.
Darwin discovered that the finches were once the same species. Due to isolation, each island produced variations of the original finch species.
Darwin was puzzled about the many adaptations of the finches on the Galapagos Islands
A finch population on an island is more isolated than Êa finch population in a large forest. ÊThe gene pool of the island population would be more limited than the genetic possibilities of the finch population in the forest. ÊThe island finches would be more likely to pass on specialized genes than the forest finches. the island finches have more spatial isolation the island finches have more geographical isolation
Their beaks are different
Their beaks are different
Charles Darwin discover the finches in Galapagos in 1831. He noticed that the finches beaks were different compared to the finch's in Ecuador.
It is thought that the finches have a common ancestor. Separated on different islands, each island eventually produced different finches.
Finches looked alike, but ate different things.
