Evidence 3 supports my claim because natural selection is when the animal can adapt and survive in their environment but after the drought the shorts beak birds seeds died and then they couldn't adapt and survive off the other seeds because there beaks were not able to get to the hard seeds which meant that the long beks could adapt due to the lack of the portcula seeds

Evidence 2 supports my claim because the short beak birds dies eventually and then there was only the long beaks left which was able to reproduce and have more long beak birds in the area. This is natural selection because the long beak birds were able to survive off the hard seeds that they adapted to and made them able to reproduce and have other long beak birds adapt to the seeds that were hard

The Evidence 1 supports my claim because the birds that eat the Portulaca died . The long beaks were able to live longer which is natural selection because the portulaca seeds died and the long beaks survived off of the hard seeds which is survival.

Before the drought the beak length average was 10.70 and after the drought the beak length was 11.60

Since all the short beak birds died all the long bird beak birds reproduced and made the long beak birds more populated

The soft  seeds (Portulaca)that the finches eat died due to lack of water therefore the short beak finches died

Natural selection caused the beak of the medium ground finch population on Daphe Major to increase in size from 1976 to 1978
