Say that you had only the Florida example for the graph.  Would it necessarily be true to claim that natural selection was acting on the beak length of the insect when the introduced host plant species became the abundant feeding site?  Or could natural selection be acting on a character that is correlated with beak length? Why or why not

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
