What do you predict will be the proportion of birds with beaks that are 11mm or longer in another five years, if the environmental conditions stayed the same? Use mathematics to support your answer by first calculating the rate at which the proportions are changing.

Transcribed Image Text:EVOLUTION ASSESSMENT - FINCHES
Galápagos Ground Finches
Between 1973 and 1978, the population of ground finches (a type of small bird) on the Galápagos Islands
decreased. Scientists made observations of the population throughout that time period. They recorded
and graphed differences in the distribution of traits over time. The two sets of graphs below come from
the data they collected.
