Unlike the Tribulus plant that actually grows in a dry climate. This relates to natural selection because the portulaca plant didnt better adapt to their environment so they died off, but the tribulus plant was better suited so they stayed]]> 2019-02-07 23:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/329024390 oliviafinders23 https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/329025353 The Portulaca plant(soft plant) died because the lack of water. In the year 1977- 1978 the island actually recived 0 drops of rain for 551 days. Leaving 0 portulaca plants per square meter.

In fact because of this the Finches started at a population of 751 in 1977 and went down to 93 birds in 1978.

Thats why they have to eat the Portulaca plant instead. But they cant because of the drought. This cooralates to natural selection because the Finches werent well adapt to having a lack of water so the well adapted species were able to survive longer because they could get into the Tribulus plant.]]> 2019-02-13 19:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/331016713 oliviafinders23 https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/331019865 The reason the Finches went down so much was because the Portulaca plants were dying off because of the lack of water. Leaving only the Tribulus plants, which they couldnt eat because their beaks were too thin. This reasoning links to natural selection because the Finches werent well adapted to the environment (their beaks were to weak so they couldnt survive off of the Tribulus plant.]]> 2019-02-13 20:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/331019865 oliviafinders23 https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/331028350 2019-02-13 20:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviafinders23/3a4w5bzngj9j/wish/331028350
