The trait then became more common as only the birds that had it survived.]]> 2020-02-07 14:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/beaubanze24/4xey1751w3nc/wish/442147294 beaubanze24 https://padlet.com/beaubanze24/4xey1751w3nc/wish/442152840 Because of the beak depth average increase of 0.9, it proves that the birds with a larger and stronger beak survived longer than the birds with a smaller beak. As the larger beaks survived, it became more common and made the average size increase. ]]> 2020-02-07 14:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/beaubanze24/4xey1751w3nc/wish/442152840 beaubanze24 https://padlet.com/beaubanze24/4xey1751w3nc/wish/442159911 Adding on to the beak depth is the beak length that also had an increase of 0.9 in 2 years. This proves even more that the larger beaked birds survived longer than the small beaked birds, causing the gene to become more common.]]> 2020-02-07 14:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/beaubanze24/4xey1751w3nc/wish/442159911
