In an ecosystem where most flowers are long and bell-shaped, the most likely hummingbird population composition would be more long-beaked hummingbirds. This is because long-beaked hummingbirds would have better access to the nectar in the long flowers, giving them a feeding advantage over short-beaked hummingbirds. Over time, this would likely result in a higher proportion of long-beaked hummingbirds in the population.
