Title

The finches’ adaptation and evolution

In this experiment takes place as the investigation of finches being adapted and

how they evolve during the years.

Introduction and Purpose

In the process of evolution permits you to experience the adaptation and evolution

of the population of finches over 100, 200 and 300 years. These experiments can be

located on the island Darwin and Wallace Island. Using different parameters that

influence the adaptation and natural selection, in this experiment can study the process of

evolution of finches.

The hypothesis in this experiment.

•The size of its beak and precipitation could have a large effect on the population.

•For the size of the island population will be affected.

•The greater the crisis, higher will be the population over time.

Materials

The materials used to complete this experiment were a computer, papers and

internet access to the Evolution Lab available on the student website.

Methods of Procedures

Evolution in this experiment provides different variables. In the same could

change the following: the variable in beak size in the population, the size of the peak, the

legacy of the measured peak, clutch size, difference in size of the island, the population

of finches to start the experiment, the precipitation of the island, as it affects the work of

The seeds. All different combinations of variables can be set at different islands for two

hours can provide combinations and designation of information. The method of this

experimenter is used to reduce the many options was to focus first and beak size on

Darwin Island precipitation changing the variables, then recording the field notes

of the population in 100 years. Then secondly, to keep all information possible from the

previous test in the largest population and examine
