Speciation- "The way natural selection leads to the formation of new species." (Johnson, 279). Speciation shows the steps traits took through natural selection that causes significant enough changes to form a new species.

SCIENCE One of the world’s rarest birds, the mangrove finch has dwindled to a habitat the size of just 12 city blocks. Here’s how scientists are trying to bring it back from near-extinc…

Darwin's Finches. I love this image and I think I want to incorporate them into a chest/collarbone piece.

The picture of Darwins Finches gave proof of evolution by demonstrating images. http://www.notevenpast.org/feature/alberto-mart%C3%ADnez-darwins-finches-other-science-myths

More than two decades later, Charles Darwin’s stolen notebooks have been anonymously returned to the Cambridge University Library.

I would be remiss if I didn’t dedicate one of my posts on the Galápagos Islands to the bird that ignited Charles Darwin’s interest in the evolution of species: the finch. It is a smal…

Cross section through skull of three species of Darwin's finches.

Platyspiza crassirostris, Vegetarian Finch. A large finch in the Darwin's finch group. Endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Most likely to be encountered in forest at middle elevations on the larger islands. Not present on the islands of Española, Genovesa and Santa Fé. It feeds primarily on buds, leaves, flowers and fruit, and will strip the bark off twigs to get to the cambium and phloem. It also occasionally eats caterpillars. Song is nasal and drawn out with each note lasting about two…

Darwin's finches (also known as the Galápagos finches) are a group of about 15 species of passerine birds that evolved from a single original species. The smallest is the Warbler Finch and the largest is the Vegetarian Finch. The most important differences between species are in the size and shape of their beaks, and the beaks are highly adapted to different food sources.
