There are several species of Galapagos finches, also known as Darwin's finches. Data was collected concerning Galapagos bird beak size over time. Two finch species shared the same habitats, habits and traits except for one; they had different shaped and sized beaks. How did this difference lead to peaceful coexistence from 1968 through 1976?
