Question
Darwin's finches (Thraupidae, Passeriformes) have beaks of different shapes that allow them to
feed on many different diets: insects, seeds, berries, and young leaves. For example, large
ground finch has a very deep and broad bill adapted to crack hard and large seeds, while the
cactus finch has an elongated and pointy beak for probing cactus flowers and fruits. Geospiza
finch bills develop their distinct shapes during embryogenesis and are apparent upon hatching.
Figure below is species-tree estimation of phylogenetic relationships among the Galápagos
finches using mtDNA and nuclear loci information. Branch lengths are proportional to time and
genetic distance except for abbreviated basal node depth. Photographs of profiles of each
species are shown. Examine the figure: 1. identify all species pair(s) who has the most similar
DNA sequence.
2. Clearly explain your reasons.
Figure 1: Descent with modification: adaptive radiation of finches on Galapagos Islands. Figure is
modified from Jønsson et al 2012 and Farrington et al. 2014.
