What most likely brought the finches to the Hawaiian Islands?

Biology
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Bird irruption and climatic phenomena subsequently

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands are extremely diverse in both flora and fauna species. Today, similarly to the Galapagos Islands, there are thousands of species of Hawaiian finches, some of them eat seeds, others fruit, while other nectar, etc. Also, their beaks and colors are incredibly variable.

After years of research, scientists determined that it was one finch progenitor that arrived from Asia to the Hawaiian Islands around 6 million years ago, which gave rise to this process of speciation. This situation, as suggested by the researchers, occured due to a phenomenon known as 'irruption', characterized by the movement of hundreds to thousands of birds from one region to another located very far.

This finch is suggested to have gotten carried away in a storm, which eventually brought it to the Hawaiian Islands.

How can you tell a vein from other structures in the leaf?
nevsk [136]
You can tell the vein from the others by holding the leaf up to a light. This makes the leaf a bit see through and the veins will be clearly visible as they do not become semi-transperent. You can also put paper on top of the leaf and rub gently over the paper with crayon to see the veins. They will make darker or lighter lines on the paper depending on if you have the leaf facing up or down.
