Describe the role that variations in beak size play in the natural selection of the finches of Santa Cruz Island.

I’m sure you mean Galapagos, but the different environment helps to differentiate the beak sizes. One island might mainly have seeds, so the birds there would need strong beaks to break them open. If one main has insects, it might have a smaller, thinner beak. Hope this helps!

I attached the image related to your concerned question.

In theory, the part of the brain that is responsible for the sleep wake cycle is the hypothalamus; specifically, the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In the image, the location of the hypothalamus is pointed by the green square.
