Mechanical stress, fracture risk and beak evolution in Darwin's ground finches (Geospiza)

Darwin's finches have radiated from a common ancestor into 14 descendent species, each specializing on distinct food resources and evolving divergent beak forms. Beak morphology in the ground finches (Geospiza) has been shown to evolve via natural selection in response to variation in food type...
