In an ecosystem where most flowers are long and bell-shaped, it is more likely that the hummingbird population would consist of more long-beaked hummingbirds. This is because long-beaked hummingbirds would be better suited to access the nectar from the long, bell-shaped flowers, giving them a selective advantage for feeding and survival in that environment. Short-beaked hummingbirds would have difficulty accessing the nectar and might have lower survival and reproduction rates as a result.
