I found it interesting that there were different ones for grass environments and on the ground near the trunks of the trees.

# data[].attributes.body
There color was determined by where they lived.

# data[].attributes.body
Birds adpated to their enviorment relatively quick.

# data[].attributes.body
You can tell what species come from what island based on their traits.

# data[].attributes.body
I belived that they always knew species evolved from other species

# data[].attributes.body
Species adapt to their environments over time and develop different traits depending on the environment

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that in only 4 years the lizards legs got shorter.

# data[].attributes.body
The lizards evolved traits from something as simple as their location in a tree.

# data[].attributes.body
Biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant have studied finches on Daphne Major for 40 years. It is interesting how environmental changes influence their beak size and shape.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how fast evolution changed such a big feature on the lizards

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that the finches were so diverse in species and features

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how the lizards changed depending on their elevation and height on the tree or ground.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it intresting that the birds beaks either had an advantage for them or a disadvantage depending on the eviornemnt around them at the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Evolution has a more higher chance to occur when there is a natural order taking place/

# data[].attributes.body
Different species have different traits depending on where they live

# data[].attributes.body
Lizards on each island were more closely related to each other, than to other lizards that look similar on other islands.

# data[].attributes.body
It's fascinating to see how quickly climate changes occur, often driven by natural selection. This highlights species' adaptability to shifting conditions and the power of evolution over time, which impacts biodiversity and survival rates across ecosystems.

# data[].attributes.body
there are many different species of finches, and their beaks are shaped based on what they eat

# data[].attributes.body
It is impressive how quickly birds are responding to climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
anoles on different islands have diversified to occupy various habitats, leading to specific body types

# data[].attributes.body
Grant found out that the average beak size of a finch population can shift in just a few years.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how only the lizards that climb high up in the trees need toe pads.

# data[].attributes.body
Lizards are green or brown depending on where they live like in the green trees or the brown ground to be able to blend in.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how over 4 years, the lizards that were put on the island their legs got shorter and shorter over time.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting how the color of their dewlap changed based on their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
In four years, it was shown how strong the natural selection was because of how fast the lizards legs got shorter and shorter.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that the lizards evolved the same body plans independently on separate islands because of convergent evolution.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s very interesting that when a population breeds with another it has a chance of shifting the genes completely

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that the lizards evolved traits for something as simple as their location on the tree.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how different anole lizards had different adaptation to their environment such long-legged anoles are able to run quickly on the ground while short-legged anoles are more adapted to navigate thin tree branches.

# data[].attributes.body
One species of finch arrived in the archipelago which later diversified into 13 species in the galapagos islands.

# data[].attributes.body
Anoles have different adaptations depending on where they live. Canopy anoles have larger toe pads to hang on to leaves, while ground trunk anoles have long legs for chasing predators and running.

# data[].attributes.body
Its interesting how evolution can happen quickly due to natural selection.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting that the songs birds play attracts the mates from their species, while it will not attract mates from another.

# data[].attributes.body
The different species of anoles have different traits depending on how high up they live in the trees.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that there are 13 different species of finches on the islands.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it interesting how ground lizards have evolved long legs.

# data[].attributes.body
The finch was was once one species that arrived at the archipelago, and overtime became/turned into 13 species with differing good traits for each one.

# data[].attributes.body
Wallace and Darwin both found out about evolution through natural selection by seeing animals that were older to be less equipt to their surroundings than the newer animals of that species.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how quick the birds would respond to environmental changes.

# data[].attributes.body
The birds adapted overtime to their environment which caused 1 species to turn into 13 different species

# data[].attributes.body
the finch population diverged and adapted to different islands and their environments

# data[].attributes.body
They have a lot of diversity; their beaks come in different shapes and sizes. Some have their beaks have also adapted for different feeding behaviours

# data[].attributes.body
There was only 1 species of finches that arrived on the island, which diversified into 13 different species over time.

# data[].attributes.body
Only one species of finch went to the islands then they spread from that into 13 different species.

# data[].attributes.body
Only 1 species of Finch went to the islands and they spread from that into 13 different species.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to DNA evidence, the Grants found out that only one species of finch came to the Galapagos Islands from the mainland and later evolved into the 13 species that there are today.

# data[].attributes.body
Finches turn into multiple species through environmental pressures and then causes them to have unique niches in their environment

# data[].attributes.body
The birds with the longer beaks do better in dry and desolate, and the birds with the shorter beaks flourish in flourishing and wet climates.

# data[].attributes.body
Only one finch species arrived at the Archipelago and diversified into the 13 species that are there now in present day.

# data[].attributes.body
Evolution can be undone if the conditions require it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is really cool that the Grants have dedicated their lives to studying these amazing birds. Natural selection changes the beak size of the finches.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural selection favours birds with larger beaks because they can crack large seeds during droughts.

The beak sizes of populations can shift in just a few years (Grants findings).

# data[].attributes.body
One species arrived on the archipelago, and diversified into the thirteen species that we see nowadays in the Galápagos.

# data[].attributes.body
Evolution can occur very rapidly when natural selection is strong.

# data[].attributes.body
Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin independently discovered evolution through natural selection

# data[].attributes.body
HI, MAKENNA...PLEASE MOVE THIS OVER TO COLUMN #2!!

Grant found out that the average beak size of a finch population can shift in just a few years.

# data[].attributes.body
The people could tell where/which island a species came from based on just some of its characteristics, which was fascinating.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting how they discovered evolution when they were researching on natural selection. I also found interesting on how they developed natural selection through the evidence they found.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Wallace helped Darwin with his ideas to get to the conclusion he did, and their use of natural selection was really smart.

# data[].attributes.body
back in the day people believed god assigned different species for each island

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting that they both noticed that species change to match their habitat and it led them to discover more about species changing and why they change

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting that they could tell which island the animals came from depending on their markings or shape of their shell.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting about how the same species can change genetically over time because they don't live in the same habitats.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that even though Wallace and Darwin studied different animals, they still came to the same conclusion that species are connected.

# data[].attributes.body
Darwin went from just a collector to a theorist. One of his theories was that all animals are related in some way and that they all came from one species.

# data[].attributes.body
Wallace had hundreds of subjects to bring back to Europe, and they were all lost

# data[].attributes.body
The Galapagos animals raised the idea that species change into new species

# data[].attributes.body
There was two people who both wanted find the origin of species but Darwin kept his knowledge with a few trusted people.

# data[].attributes.headline
Species were not all created completely uniquely, new species evolved from older species.

# data[].attributes.subject
Species were not all created completely uniquely, new species evolved from older species.

# data[].attributes.body
Species changed into new species

# data[].attributes.body
Evolution can occur very rapidly when natural selection is strong.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that Alfred figures out why species change because he had a fever.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that each Tortoise on the Galapagos had subtle, yet different patterns on the shells based on the island they lived on.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural selection helped to improve the finch bird's beaks and helped them to survive in their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
it was interesting how the birds that Wallace found were all on their own specific islands

# data[].attributes.body
They could tell which island a tortoise or mockingbird came from just by looking at the shape of its shell or the markings.

# data[].attributes.body
People used to believe that God made a different species for each island.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the way the ideas of natural selection and natural evolution were considered heresy was interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
They both noticed that species vary slightly from habitat to habitat which was what led to them discovering the idea that species change over time

# data[].attributes.body
Before Darwin set out on his adventure, he, like many others, believed in special creation (God made each species for a specific purpose)

# data[].attributes.body
You probably are familiar with the name Charles Darwin, but have you heard of Alfred Wallace?
