It is believed that trichomes give an evolutionary advantage to plants when herbivory is high because the trichomes may be irritating to the animals that feed on these plants. In these situations, the selection pressure would favor plants with more trichomes. The experiment described above mimics this condition. What type of selection is represented here? A. Stabilizing B. Disruptive C. Directional selection

After the tree was introduced, beak length became a. Shorter; disruptive b. Longer; disruptive c. Shorter; directional d. Longer; directional This example illustrates selection. Beak length (mm)
slands are well known for having many endemic (unique) species. What is a likely explanation for this pattern? A. Humans bring partly or fully domesticated species with them when they arrive on islands. B. Colonizers encounter fewer competitors on an island, so they can diversify. C. Islands are more complex habitats than continents are, so they have more niches for specializations. D. Colonizers are likely to have more diversity than local populations and thus outcompete them. E. The type of organism that is a good colonizer has more than the average amount of genetic variability, so it's more likely to speciate.
The Galapagos archipelago consists of volcanic islands that formed within the last 5 million years.
