The ecology and evolution of seed predation by Darwin's finches on Tribulus cistoides on the Galápagos Islands

Predator–prey interactions play a key role in the evolution of species traits through antagonistic coevolutionary arms races. The evolution of beak morphology in the Darwin's finches in response to competition for seed resources is a classic example of evolution by natural selection. The seeds...
