Darwin wondered if the finches on the Galapagos Islands were an ancester to the mainland finches. It turns out they were, one finch went to the island and its decsandants spead across the island. Geographic isolation caused the gene pools to become isolated and each population adapted to a particular habitat on the Galapagos Islands. Over time all the populations became genotypically different that they do not interbreed. Mating finches look for the beak shape.
The Island origin hypothesis proposes that certain species evolved on isolated islands, leading to unique adaptations and characteristics not found in mainland populations. This hypothesis helps explain the high levels of endemism observed on many islands around the world.
To put it simply, new species can form when organisms within a population become so genetically different they can no longer reproduce with one another without generating harmful mutations. This can be caused by genetic drift and geographic isolation. Two populations of the same species who live in different parts of the world will diverge and go on separate genetic paths, until eventually the two populations become genetically different and branch off into two different species.
There is no rate to evolution. Evolution is simply the following of natural selection within an environment. natural selection is like survival of the fittest. A mutation in the organism is caused which can start the natural selection process for that organism. If that organism is able to survive better with that mutation then the trait is passed down and slowly evolution takes place. The only way for evolution to happen at the same rate of another organism is if the organisms rely on each other and one goes through a change. The other dependent species will have to also go through an alteration in order to be able to survive. hope this helps!
Phytoplankton, specifically dinoflagellates, are responsible for red tides. These algae produce toxins that can accumulate in shellfish, leading to ciguatera fish poisoning when consumed by larger fish and then by humans.

i dont no It was at the Galapagos Islands where he observed finches andd marine iguanas.
The Galapagos fur seal is endangered because of food shortages caused by El nino. I'm not quite sure what that is but it has something to do with warm water currents. I suggest using Google to research the topic.
Pollution caused by the airport there and cars. Deforestation in the creation of crop-fields. Damage to coral reefs by divers and ship anchors. Alien species such as dogs and cats, which alter the food chain.
Religion In Galapagos IslandsCulture of Galapagos is divided on the basis of religion and there are various religious groups which dwell on separate surrounding and take pride in their sect. Religion in Ecuador has caused immense tension and has also led to sporadic bursts of violence between two or more sects. Guayaquilenos and Quitenos are two major religious groups in Ecuador which are forever at loggerheads with each other and this in turn has affected the economy of the nation. During the war, it was noted that countless individuals from a particular sect had deserted the Ecuadorian army on the pretext of being subjugated on the basis of religion.

These two diseases are caused by different infectious organisms and have different symptoms and different modes of transmission. The only real similarity is that they are both serious diseases.
Fungus is not caused by bacteria. Fungi are a separate group of organisms that are more similar to plants than bacteria. Bacteria are different microorganisms that can sometimes interact with fungi in the environment.
