This project investigates the genetic and developmental mechanisms behind the diverse beak shapes of Darwin's finches, a classic example of adaptive evolution. By using advanced sequencing techniques, it aims to identify the genes responsible for beak morphology and their roles in evolution.
Darwin’s finches display an extremely high beak shape diversity associated with occupation of various ecological niches.
They are the classic textbook example of adaptive radiation under natural selection.
The supervisor of this proposal – Dr.
Arkhat Abzhanov and colleagues previously used a combination of morphometrics, comparative developmental genetic and functional tests to reveal basic principles underlying beak shape morphogenesis.
They showed that the enormous beak diversity in Darwin’s f…
