The observation that would provide the best support for the claim that the flatwing phenotype arose independently on Kauai and Oahu is:
**Males from each island have different genetic mutations affecting wing shape. (Los machos de cada isla tienen diferentes mutaciones genéticas que afectan la forma de las alas.)**
This observation suggests that the flatwing phenotype did not arise from a common ancestor that had the same genetic basis for wing shape, but rather that it evolved separately on each island, supported by distinct genetic mutations. In contrast, similarities in the environment, diet, or the potential for transportation of individuals between islands would not necessarily indicate independent evolution.
