Genetic isolation. This occurs when members of species that also occur on mainland areas begin to evolve slightly different habits and appearances.

Describe how new species of Galàpagos finches may have formed?

By adaptive radiation. The original finch emigrated to the Galapagos Islands and found many different environments and feeding opportunities per individual Island. So, under this new selection pressure and the random mutational variation all species have, many new species of finch arose on all the various Islands of the Galapagos.


What type of isolating mechanism was important in the formation of Galapagos finch species?
