Knowing this only the birds with long beaks can get to the tribulus seeds and they live because there are more tribulus seeds when the portulaca population went down in the drought in 1977.

An example of this is in 1776 the average beak length was 10.7095206 and in 1778 average beak length was 11.6067741 this is a very large change in a two year period this is natural selection at its finest.]]> 2020-02-07 15:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/daltonlangley24/f2nscoj2442z/wish/442192027 daltonlangley24 https://padlet.com/daltonlangley24/f2nscoj2442z/wish/442196213 2020-02-07 15:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/daltonlangley24/f2nscoj2442z/wish/442196213 daltonlangley24 https://padlet.com/daltonlangley24/f2nscoj2442z/wish/442198260 2020-02-07 15:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/daltonlangley24/f2nscoj2442z/wish/442198260 daltonlangley24 https://padlet.com/daltonlangley24/f2nscoj2442z/wish/442198562 I know this because the drought in 1977 had only 20mm of rain and it wiped out portulaca (soft small seed) to almost 0. the small beck finch food source but the tribulus plant stayed alive through the drought but only big beak birds could eat them because the seeds were big and hard and their beaks were thicker and stronger than the small beaks. This is why the small beck finches population started to decrease. The data from lab 18 showed that from 76 to 78 the beck average size increased significantly.
