The correct answer is:
Birds with larger beaks were better able to utilize the large seeds.
During the drought of 1977 on Daphne Major, food sources became limited, and only certain types of seeds were available. Birds with larger beaks were able to crack and consume the larger seeds that were present, giving them a competitive advantage over those with smaller beaks, who could not efficiently utilize this food source.
