This shows that it does not support the claim because the population wasn't stable and we can infer that the population decrease was to the small beak finches dying of starvation and the small increase was from natural selection making larger beaks more common.]]> 2020-02-07 14:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiacampanella24/ty7051f8ojdp/wish/442177304 sophiacampanella24 https://padlet.com/sophiacampanella24/ty7051f8ojdp/wish/442180348 The Finches adapted to their surrounding environment to eat the Tribulus seeds instead of the Portulaca seeds.

Also we don't know where the finches would have migrated to (if they did migrate) that would cause their beak size to increase in the population. Therefore elimination has been eliminated as an option for where the birds went.]]> 2020-03-12 03:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiacampanella24/ty7051f8ojdp/wish/458873406 sophiacampanella24 https://padlet.com/sophiacampanella24/ty7051f8ojdp/wish/458879571 The small birds did end up dying because they were unable to eat the Tribulus seeds.
