In an ecosystem where most flowers are long and bell shaped, there are two varieties of hummingbirds: birds with short beaks and birds with long beaks. What is the most likely hummingbirds population composition? More long beaks hummingbirds, more short beaks hummingbirds, only long beaks hummingbirds, only short beaks hummingbirds
In an ecosystem where most flowers are long and bell shaped, it is likely that the hummingbird population composition would consist of more long beaks hummingbirds. This is because the long beaks would be better adapted to accessing the nectar deep within the long bell shaped flowers, giving them a competitive advantage over the short beaks hummingbirds. The short beaks hummingbirds may still exist in the ecosystem, but they would likely be outnumbered by the long beaks hummingbirds.
