While we explore our planet, so many differenttypes of finchesbegin to emerge. Arguably one of the most beautiful and colorful birds on the planet earth, Finches belong to the family of Fringillidae. Despite their widespread distribution across the globe, these birds primarily reside in the Nor...
Finch Finches have strong, conical bills that help them break open tough seeds that many other birds cannot. Gastornis Gastornis had a massive beak, but they probably ate plants instead of flesh. Gigantopithecus Some cryptozoologists think that Gigantopithecus survives to this day as "The Bigfo...

Bmp4 and Morphological Variation of Beaks in Darwin's Finches Darwin's finches are a classic example of species diversification by natural selection. Their impressive variation in beak morphology is associated with th... A Abzhanov,M Protas,BR Grant,... - 《Science》 被引量: 1380发表: 2004...
This idea was tested in a 2*2 factorial experiment in wild-caught captive greenfinches (Carduelis chloris), injected with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and/or temporarily exposed to an image of a predator. We predicted that LPS injection would reduce both types of activity via induction of...
Why were Darwin's finches different on each island? What birds mate for life? What is the difference between an emu and an ostrich? How did theropod dinosaurs sleep? How many species does the class Aves have? How did Neanderthals and humans interbreed if they were different species?
However, in Tabernas, trumpeter finches selected places for ground nests Conclusion Our data show that trumpeter finches may nest in two very different types of nest-site, ground and holes in cliffs. While in one study area, La Oliva, nesting in cliffs increased nest success, in the other, ...
The song of greenfinches is not stereotyped: a given song element may be followed alternately by different element types. Within a breeding area most males sing the same element types. The following general features are characteristic for all songs studied: 1) size of the repertoire (30 - 35...
the finches previously discussed can be found alone or together on the Galapagos Islands. Both species' populations actually have more individuals with intermediate-sized beaks when they live on islands without the other species present. However, when both species are present on the same island, com...
(Rubin & Umanath,2015). This form of memory has been shown to be involved in decisions of apes and zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)(Larose & Dubois,2011; Lewis et al.,2017). The details of scenes can be further reduced to a simple association between an individual and a rewarding ...
