One example of the founder effect is the evolution of several hundred species of fruit flies found on different Hawaiian Islands.

What is an example of the founder effect?

The finches of the Galápagos Islands are an example of the founder effect, where a small group of finches established a new population on an isolated island. Over time, genetic variations that were present in this small group became more prevalent in the subsequent generations of finches on the island.

Where do many species display founder effects?

Probably the best documented example of the founder effect in action is the Galapagos islands. However the founder effect is seen much more commonly in mountainous regions. Mountains offer many various environmental settings which may cut populations apart. An excellent example of this are populations which cross onto the opposite side of a mountain range than the rest of their species. This is very frequently seen in birds.
