question

More than a dozen species of Darwin's finches with various specialized adaptations inhabit the Galápagos Islands. Each species possesses a specialized adaptation for obtaining food. Why is it that similar adaptations do not exist among the finches of the South American mainland, the presumed origin of the Galápagos finch ancestor?

choices

  1. The various foods available on the mainland are different than those on the Galápagos Islands.
  2. South American predators limited evolution of the mainland finch.
  3. Reproductive isolation is not possible on the mainland.
  4. The available niches that the Darwin's finches exploited on the Galápagos Islands were already occupied by other species of birds on the mainland.
