Natural selection would favor groups living in areas with large amount of predators. This is because when individuals live in large groups‚ there are more eyes to watch the predators‚ and therefore‚ more time to eat. Moreover‚ it favors species that usually hunt huge animals because they can catch their prey easily. 2) Optimal flock size in birds has important benefits such as a better possibility of fending off predators.

The purpose of this lab was to figure out how natural selection gave some birds advantage in picking up food. According to Darwin‚ Natural selection was a process in which “tiny variations were selected by virtue of whether or not they helped organism survive” (Wyhe‚ 2016). In Darwin’s voyage to the Galapagos islands‚ he discovered finches with different beak size that still somewhat resembled one another. Adaptive radiation was used to describe this concept because the finches all came from one
