The high percentage of finches with shorter and thicker beaks suggests that on the Galapagos Islands the most available and most abundant food source are the seeds and the plants.

Because there are large variety of plants on the islands, and they are also consisted of thick vegetation, not sparsely distributed, most of the finches evolved to feed on the plant parts and on the seeds from those plants, thus the development of short and thick beak.

The insects and and other small organisms are not as abundant on the islands, so there's only enough food for smaller number of finches, thus the lesser percentage of finches with beaks that are pointed and thin.
