There are 13 recognized species of finches in the Galápagos Islands, often referred to as Darwin's finches. These species vary in size, shape, and feeding habits, which have evolved to adapt to the different ecological niches on the islands. Their diversity is a key example of adaptive radiation, illustrating how species can evolve from a common ancestor in response to environmental pressures.

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.
