Using radio transmitters, scientists have gained new insights into the behavior of medium ground finches in the Galapagos Islands. A study reveals daily movement patterns covering an area equivalent ...
Spending time with offspring is beneficial to development, but it’s proving lifesaving to Galápagos Islands Darwin’s finches studied by Flinders University experts. A new study, published in ...
There are now at least 13 species of finches on the Galapagos Islands, each filling a different niche on different islands. All of them evolved from one ancestral species, which colonized the islands ...
Researchers from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) are traveling to the Galapagos Islands this month to search for ways to combat a non-native, invasive fly that is ...
The beaks of Darwin's medium ground finches can evolve to crush the shells of hard seeds. Credit: Andrew Hendry They say that hindsight is 20/20, and though the theory of ecological speciation—which ...
Vertebrate genomes are repositories for retrovirus code that was deposited into germ line as inherited endogenous retroviruses during evolution. Researchers from Uppsala University and Princeton ...
The Galápagos Islands have long symbolised evolutionary ingenuity, typified by Darwin’s finches. However, the recent incursion of avian parasites, most notably the invasive fly Philornis downsi, has ...
