This is the first example of speciation that scientists have been able to observe directly in the field. Researchers followed the entire population of finches on a tiny Galapagos island called ...

Since Darwin’s finches use songs to attract mates, the song changes related to beak evolution could be a catalyst behind ecological speciation. However, speciation is a historical process that ...

Galápagos finches could be singing a different song after repeated drought—one that leads to speciation American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Journal ...

One reason for this is how new finch species emerge in response to ecological change fairly quickly, called the theory of ecological speciation. Now, scientists have identified a key […] ...

Indeed, the Galapagos have been called a living laboratory where speciation can be seen at work. A few million years ago, one species of finch migrated to the rocky Galapagos from the mainland of ...

New species of Galapagos finch ‘can arise after just six consecutive droughts’ The Darwin finches, a group of about 18 species of passerine birds, are well known for their wide diversity in ...

Home; Digest; in depth Darwin’s finches evolve before scientists’ eyes. In three generations, the Galapagos Island finches have shown evolutionary traits that usually take hundreds ...

Researchers followed the entire population of finches on a tiny Galapagos island called Daphne Major, for many years, and so they were able to watch the speciation in progress. The research was ...

A population of finches on the Galapagos has been discovered in the process of becoming a new species. This is the first example of speciation that scientists have been able to observe directly in ...
