In an ecosystem where most flowers are long bell shaped, there are two varieties of hummingbirds hummingbirds with short, beaks, and long beaks what is most likely hummingbird population condensation

1 answer

The most likely hummingbird population composition in this ecosystem would be a higher proportion of hummingbirds with long beaks compared to those with short beaks. This is because the long bell-shaped flowers would be better suited for hummingbirds with long beaks, allowing them easier access to the nectar inside the flowers. The short-beaked hummingbirds may still exist in the ecosystem, but they would likely be less common due to the advantage that the long-beaked hummingbirds have in feeding on the predominant flower type.
