There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
Answer:
i dont know exactly what characteristic it would be
Explanation:
the variation of the beak shape was because the islands had diffrences to them. so on some of the islands the nuts would be bigger or smaller. The birds had to adapt to this so their beaks changed when you looked at the diffrent birds on the diffrent islands. The finches would have big beaks on one island because the nuts were bigger and they need food, but on another island the nuts were smaller so the finches on that island would have a smaller and more narrow beak. so bassiaclly the diffrences were because the birds adapted over time so they could use their beaks to properly eat.
Because these volcanic activities happen on plate tectonics.
This is not the best answer but I hope it could help you.
Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.
