The Medium Ground Finches could get to more food sources due to the changes in their beaks, due to this they could survive longer meaning more offspring.

The Medium Ground Finches beak changed over time due to weather/food conditions. There was only 20 mm of rainfall over the course of the year on Daphne Major, the plants needed more water and they dried up, leaving food source scarce

The Finch population decreased immensely because the finches that didn’t have certain traits like, longer beaks, shorter beaks, meaning they weren’t able to get the proper nutrition, from lack of plants and other food sources. So, they didn’t survive.

The medium ground finch population declined after the lack of food leaving 90 finches on the island out of  the 751 total

they would need to adapt through natural selection, the evidence proves this because it shows that over a span of a few years, finches made their beaks longer, i think that was because they could find more water in cactuses or bugs/seeds in the ground

- In november of 1976, the medium ground finches beak ran anywhere between 5mm-14mm  in depth  and 6mm-15mm in length

Natural selection is the mechanism of microevolution that caused the beak of the medium ground finch pop. in daphne major to increase in size from 1976
