The ʻAkiapolaʻau is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper, that is endemic to the island of Hawaii.

The liwi is a "hummingbird-niched" species of Hawaiian honeycreeper.

Apapane is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper which is also endemic to Hawaii like the Akiapola'au.

The  Amakihi was formerly placed in the genus Hemignathus but was assigned to the genus Chlorodrepanis based on the phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences

Nihoa Finch is one of the two endemic bird species of the tiny Hawaiian island Nihoa, the other being the Nihoa millerbird.

Maui Parrotbill is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper, that is endemic to Maui in Hawaii.

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation. Their common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago. During the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behaviour]]> 2019-03-20 09:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maryajaved08/4gow3g8lem8/wish/343223662 PEPPERED MOTH maryajaved08 https://padlet.com/maryajaved08/4gow3g8lem8/wish/343224085 Maaz, Hussain, Hamza Adnan, Araegon, Alan

 
During the nineteenth century, pollution killed off some of the lichens and soot deposits caused the bark on trees to appear darker. Light colored moths were no longer camouflaged and were eaten by birds. The dark moths had a better camouflage.

As a result, dark moths had a greater chance of reproducing and passing on the phenotype, and through this the alleles that made them dark. This led to a gradual increase in the proportion of dark moths until light moths became very rare in industrial areas.

Drug Resistant bacteria is a type of bacteria that has grown resistant to anti-biotics and most other drugs that are commonly used to treat or combat it. This ability is called antimicrobial resistance. Firstly, a bacterium develops a drug resistant DNA that copies into the genes of other bacteria. When these bacteria divide, in the presence of anti-biotics, those that have grown resistance are the only ones that survive. This shows mutation and can be used as an example for survival of the fittest and evolution itself.]]> 2019-03-20 09:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maryajaved08/4gow3g8lem8/wish/343225537
