Data was collected concerning Galapagos bird beak size over time. There are several species finches, and they are also known as Darwin's Finches. These finches share the same habits and characteristics except for one; they all have different shaped and sized beaks. The differences in their beaks might be the most important aspect of their survival Around 1977, there was a huge drop in finches vwith small beaks while there was a great increase in large-beaked birds. How can you explain this?​

Answer:

Evolution or Adaptation

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the available food in the environment, such as big or small, hard or soft seeds based on the weather and the plant's production, the birds have to adapt to be able to consume their new type of food available, if a bird with a small beak tried to eat a large hard seed, it wouldn't be able to, or if a bird with a big beak tried to eat a small seed, it probably wouldn't be enough
