Darwin was puzzled about the many adaptations of the finches on the Galapagos Islands
B. Allopactric speciation on island archipelagos. As the organisms move from island to island rapid speciation is observed because of variations in resource acquisition more than just variation in environment. Amplified radiation is observed. Example is finches on the Galapagos Islands. Hawaii also gives this example.
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
Allopatric speciation.
Alopatric speciation. " Other country. "
Finches developed many different adaptations. For example, one type of finch had a short strong beak meant for cracking seeds, while another had a long narrow beak for gathering food from the inside of flowers, and cacti, therefore making each species more adapted to its specific environment and more able to gather food then they would on another island with a different main food source.

Speciation, which produces variety
Answer this question… . Galápagos finches have different kinds of beaks that match food sources.
The type of speciation that occurred among the Galapagos Islands finches is called "allopatric" speciation. Allopatric comes from roots meaning "other country". The immigrant finches, and many other birds and animals, were very isolated from other populations of the same species on the individual Galapagos Islands. The finches developed into at least 13 different species of finch on the islands.

The distance between the islands meant that the Fincehes on different Islands could not interbreed wich led to some extinction
Island finches are specially isolated whereas populations that live in large forests aren't. The island finches will have more gene flow.
evidence in real time - finches fossil evidence evidence now backed up by genetics geological evidence of strata not just fossils
Island finches are specially isolated whereas populations that live in large forests aren't. The island finches will have more gene flow.
