Playing songs to Darwin's finches helps confirm link between environmental change and emergence of new species
They say that hindsight is 20/20, and though the theory of ecological speciation—which holds that new species emerge in response to ecological changes—seems to hold in retrospect, it has been difficult to demonstrate experimentally, until now.
How playing songs to Darwin's finches helped biologists confirm link between environment and the emergence of new species | ScienceDaily
They say that hindsight is 20/20, and though the theory of ecological speciation -- which holds that new species emerge in response to ecological changes -- seems to hold in retrospect, it has been difficult to demonstrate experimentally, until now. Biologists have identified a key connection between ecology and speciation in Darwin's finches, famous residents of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Prior work on these birds had established that birds' beaks adapt to changing ecological environments, and that beak changes affect how the birds sing. But, until this paper, no one has yet been able to experimentally show that such changes drive the emergence of new species. The innovative key to this discovery? The ghosts of future finches.
