Question

On the Galapagos Islands, a group of finches had different beak sizes. During a drought, small seeds became hard to find, and only large seeds were left. Finches with larger beaks could crack open the large seeds, while finches with smaller beaks had trouble finding food.

What is the advantage of larger beaks in the finch population during a drought?
