Evolutionary adaptation to a new environment via natural selection.

Tags
Description
The example shown here involves a species of finch adapting to a new environment on one of the Galapagos Islands. The plants on this island produce larger seeds than do the plants on the mainland from which the birds had originated. According to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, the process of adaptation eventually led to the formation of a new species with larger beaks that were better suited to crushing the large seeds in its new environment.
