The finches that ended up surviving through the drought were the ones that would have passed on the large beak trait down to their offspring and slowly through the population proving that natural selection passed on the large beak trait.

The small birds did end up dying because they were unable to eat the Tribulus seeds. The birds with small beaks would end up facing beak damage or jaw dislocation at the attempt of trying to eat the tribulus seeds.

The migration theory would not be supported in this case because most likely the same amount of birds would fly back to the galapagos islands. Also we don't know where the finches would have migrated to (if they did migrate) that would cause their beak size to increase in the population. Therefore elimination has been eliminated as an option for where the birds went.

If there was no large beak birds, then the whole finch population would die. But there was a few when the drought started and then as the finch population started to grow, larger beaks became more common.

The Finches adapted to their surrounding environment to eat the Tribulus seeds instead of the Portulaca seeds. If the beak size had not increased, then the birds with small beaks would die of starvation.

This does not support the Migration theory because the population would be at a steady increase or decrease if it were migration.. This shows that it does not support the claim because the population wasn't stable and we can infer that the population decrease was to the small beak finches dying of starvation and the small increase was from natural selection making larger beaks more common.

Beaks needed to be bigger (13.82mm depth and 14.88mm of length) and stronger to eat the Tribulus seeds that were left from the drought.

Natural Selection helped their beaks develop to eat Tribulus seeds. (1976 10.04mm depth and 11.1mm length. 1978 13.82mm depth 14.88mm length.)

The graphs for population were never at a steady increase or decrease. (in November 1976 there were 751 finches and in June 1977 there were only 286 finches.)

Natural Selection caused the beak of the medium ground finch population to increase on Daphne Major from 1976-1978
