Adaptive Radiation: Darwin's Finches There are now at least 13 species of finches on the Galapagos Islands, each filling a different niche on different islands.

Musical Experiment Links Climate and Environment to Darwin's Finch Evolutionary Change Researchers designed a simulation to show when finch species started to diverge.

Ever since Charles Darwin wrote about the finches of the Galápagos Islands, biologists have studied these small songbirds to understand the mechanisms of evolution. “The strength of Darwin’s finches ...
