Beak morphology allows the birds to select the suitable food type. The various species of Galapagos finches differ from each other in beak shape and size irrespective of their origin from common seed-eating stock.

The modification of beak shape and size into several directions allowed the finches to occupy the available empty ecological niches with respect to food types.

Diversification also reduced the competition between them and allowed the finches to colonize various ecological niches in accordance with their respective beak morphology.
