By November of 1977 there was a seed abundance of 0. This came from the finch data given to us.]]> 2019-02-06 13:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328235881 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328236595 There was a drought in 1977 there was only 20 mm of rainfall. This came from the finch data given to us.]]> 2019-02-06 13:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328236595 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328237240 The bigger beaks continued to reproduce. The beaks beak length when from about 9.6 mm to about 10.5 mm.

From November of 1977 to February of 1978 there were no Portulaca seeds on Daphne They could not eat the only food source left so they died. ]]> 2019-02-06 13:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328237977 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328241446  With this little amount of water it could not support a whole population of Finches. With the small beak's food source already decreasing they started to die off. Leaving the water for the bigger beaks to continue to live.]]> 2019-02-06 14:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328241446 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328246220 With the small beaks dying off the bigger beaks had to continue to reproduce to keep the population from completely dying. When reproducing the big beaks are unlikely to have a small beaked offspring. Now since the small beak have died off there is a very, very small chance of them coming back unless small beaks from other islands migrate to Daphne Major. Which would give them a chance to reproduce and bring the small beaks back.]]> 2019-02-06 14:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328246220 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328252620 2019-02-06 14:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328252620 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328255331 2019-02-06 14:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328255331 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328256490 2019-02-06 14:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328256490 aliciajorgensen23 https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328257758 2019-02-06 14:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciajorgensen23/vk9u974jdhr3/wish/328257758
