The tale of the finch: adaptive radiation and behavioural flexibility.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 12 Apr 2010

Tebbich Sabine, Sterelny Kim, Teschke Irmgard

Abstract excerpt

Darwin's finches are a classic example of adaptive radiation. The ecological diversity of the Galápagos in part explains that radiation, but the fact that other founder species did not radiate suggests that other factors are also important. One hypothesis attempting to identify the extra factor i...
