SUCH VARIED HONEYCREEPERS : The
’i’iwi and other Hawaiian honeycreepers
resemble Galápagos finches in a number
of ways. They are species of small birds
found nowhere else on Earth. They live
on islands that are separated from one
another by stretches of open sea and
that are hundreds of miles from the
nearest continent. They are also related
to finches! There are more than 20
known closely related species of
Hawaiian honeycreeper. This is an
indication that they are all descended,
with modification, from a relatively
recent common ancestor. Experts think
the ancestor colonized the islands
between 3 million and 4 million years
ago. Many honeycreepers have
specialized diets, evolutionary
adaptations to life on the particular
islands they call home. Today, habitat
loss is endangering most of the honeycreepers. In fact, many species of honeycreeper are thought
to have become extinct since humans settled on the islands.
7. The climate and other environmental conditions are not exactly the same everywhere on
the Islands. How might this difference have affected the evolution of the honeycreepers?
